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

Perlecan is one of major heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the glomerular basement membrane and is reduced in the renal parenchyma of diabetic patients and animals with proteinuria. To examine the effects of glucose and advanced glycosylated end-products (AGE) on perlecan, we cultured rat glomerular epithelial cells (GEpC) on AGE- or bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated plates under normal (NG, 5 mM) and high-glucose (HG, 30 mM) conditions and measured the change in perlecan core protein production by a sandwich ELISA and northern blot analysis. We observed significant decreases of perlecan core protein under HG conditions at 1 week incubation, specifically on the AGE-coated compared with the BSA-coated surface, by 22.2% and 4.7%, respectively. The expression of mRNA for perlecan promoter was decreased under HG conditions on AGE-coated surfaces by 19.7% at 2 days and 61.1% at 1 week. Even under NG condition, the expression of mRNA was reduced by 30% at 1 week if GEpC were grown on an AGE-coated surface. In conclusion, HG and AGE have an additive effect in reducing the production of perlecan core protein by GEpC in vitro. AGE had a greater effect than HG, implying that the inhibition of AGE formation may be more effective than short-term glucose control in the prevention of diabetic proteinuria.
