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

Vitamin D analogs may slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. Tan et al. report that paricalcitol has additive effects with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) in suppressing extracellular matrix expression, interstitial inflammation, and myofibroblast activation in obstructive nephropathy. Paricalcitol inhibited renin transcription, countering the compensatory ACEI-induced rise in renin, thus achieving a more complete blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Vitamin D analogs may enhance the renoprotective effects of RAS inhibitors.
