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

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), e.g., carboxymethyllysine (CML) or imidazolone are involved in several age-related disorders. Concerning their accumulation, the importance of hepatic and renal function is controversially discussed. To test whether impairment of hepatic or renal function will affect their accumulation, both AGEs have been measured in various populations, such as 52 patients with liver disease [viral hepatitis C without (n = 19) and with (n = 10) fatty liver; nonalcoholic fatty liver (n = 13), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (n = 10)]. Serum concentrations of both AGEs have been compared to those in 20 healthy controls and 24 patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 23-55 ml/min). Concerning CML (95% C.I. 803-1200 ng/ml), no differences between the various groups could be observed. Likewise, serum levels of imidazolone (95% C.I. 1.3-5.6 units) were similar in all populations. In conclusion, moderate impairment in hepatic or in renal function did not affect serum levels of CML and imidazolone. Apparently, any increase observed in severe cirrhosis or renal failure seems to be rather a consequence than a cause of both disorders.
