Advances in Understanding Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression and the Mechanisms of Acupuncture Intervention.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a form of kidney damage resulting from diabetes and represents a common, severe complication of the disease. Globally, DKD is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). DKD occurs in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients, with early clinical manifestations including microalbuminuria and hypertension. As the condition progresses, symptoms such as massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and severe edema may appear. The key to treating DKD lies in controlling blood glucose and blood pressure, reducing proteinuria, and slowing the deterioration of kidney function. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine treatment, has shown some therapeutic effects on DKD through mechanisms such as regulating blood glucose, improving renal blood flow and microcirculation, antioxidation and anti-inflammation, and modulating gut microbiota.
