Serum and urine fibronectin levels in children with vesicoureteral reflux.

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
The study objective was to assess serum and urine fibronectin (FN) levels in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) depending on reflux grade and urine osmolality. The study group (1) consisted of 54 VUR children, median age 4.28 (range 0.6-15) years: subgroup A, 19 children with grade II; subgroup B, 19 with grade III; and subgroup C, 16 with grade IV or V VUR. The control group (2) included 27 healthy children. The immunoenzymatic method enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was used to determine serum soluble and urine FN levels, with an osmometer to measure urinary osmolality. The median urine FN in VUR children was 224.1 (15.4-3537) ng/mg creatinine (Cr), compared with the control group: 137.9 (20.3-670.6) ng/mg Cr (p<0.05), whereas median serum FN was 395.0 (13.0-779.9) ng/ml and 121.9 (25-345.1) ng/ml (p<0.05), respectively. A detailed analysis showed that only in subgroup C was the level of urinary FN significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.01). However, serum concentration was elevated in all VUR children (A-C) compared with controls (p<0.01). Reduced osmolality, below 800 mOsm/kg H2O, was observed in subgroup C. Negative correlation between urinary osmolality and urinary FN was found (r=-0.426, p < 0.01). In children with VUR, serum FN increased with reflux grade, whereas its urinary level was elevated only in grade IV and V reflux with impaired urine concentration.
