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

We compared renal morphology in normoalbuminuric adolescents with type 1 diabetes with age-and sex-matched controls. Renal morphological measurements in 46 unselected adolescents with diabetes for approx. 10 years were compared with those in 20 healthy kidney donors. Renal volume estimated by ultra-sound, renal function determined by clearances of inulin and para-aminohippurate, and long-term mean HbA(1c) were measured in the patient group. Basement membrane thickness (BMT), mesangial matrix and capillary volume fractions per glomerulus [V(V)(matrix/glom), V(V)(cap/glom)] were significantly greater in patients than in controls (505 nm, 10.5%, 46.7% vs. 320 nm, 7.9% and 39.3%). The foot processes were wider in patients than in living donors (414 nm vs. 372 nm). There was no difference in mean kidney volume of patients with diabetes and healthy subjects. Glomerular filtration rate, body weight, and slit pore length density explained 60% of the variance in renal volume. After about 10 years' duration of type 1 diabetes, BMT, V(V)(matrix/glom), V(V)(cap/glom), and foot process width were greater in normoalbuminuric adolescents than in healthy controls. This increase in foot processes of normoalbuminuric patients has not been reported before.
