1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The insulin-like growth factors, insulin-like growth factor I and insulin-like growth factor II are bound to six distinct classes of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in the circulation and in extracellular fluids. Diabetic renal hypertrophy is preceded by a transient increase in kidney insulin-like growth factor I suggestive of a renotropic function for insulin-like growth factor I. In order to examine a possible involvement of IGFBPs in initial diabetic kidney growth and in kidney insulin-like growth factor I accumulation, we studied rat kidney IGFBPs by ligand blotting during the first 4 days after induction of diabetes. Six distinct bands were identified in kidney and liver tissue with apparent molecular weight values of 38-47 (doublet), 34, 30, 24 and 20 kDa. The 38-47 kDa doublet band probably corresponds to the insulin-like growth factor binding subunit of IGFBP-3, the 24 kDa band to IGFBP-4 and the 30 kDa band to IGFBP-1 and/or IGFBP-2, as these IGFBPs in rats have similar molecular weight. In untreated diabetic rats a transient increase in the kidney 30 kDa band was demonstrable 24 h after induction of diabetes with a maximal rise (two-fold) after 48 h, followed by a decrease to baseline values after 4 days. In untreated diabetic rats the 38-47 kDa doublet band also increased (two-fold) in kidney during the first 2 days after induction of diabetes, followed by a subsequent decrease. Insulin-treatment prevented both the increase in the 30 kDa and in the 38-47 kDa bands.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
