Where does albuminuria come from in diabetic kidney disease?
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 classic mechanism to explain albumin excretion in diabetes has been permeability defects in the glomerular filter. However, a new concept has emerged that albuminuria can be explained by the two major pathways the proximal tubular cell uses to process filtered albumin. Specifically, albumin permeability through the glomerular filter is only governed by size selectivity. Most of the filtered albumin is retrieved by the proximal tubular cell and returned to the peritubular blood supply. Albuminuria in the nephrotic range would arise from retrieval pathway dysfunction. The small quantities of filtered albumin that are not retrieved undergo obligatory lysosomal degradation before urinary excretion as small peptide fragments. This pathway is sensitive to metabolic factors responsible for hypertrophy and fibrosis, particularly molecules such as angiotensin II and transforming growth factor-beta1, whose production is stimulated by hyperglycemic environments. Dysfunction in this degradation pathway may lead to albuminuria below the nephrotic range.
