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

purpose of reviewNitric oxide deficiency occurs by multiple mechanisms and contributes to the pathogenesis of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its cardiovascular complications. This article concentrates on recent developments on the regulation of the endogenous nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in CKD and on the importance of the nitric oxide synthases in kidney disease progression, particularly in diabetic nephropathy. RECENT

findingsThe increased plasma ADMA seen in renal disease is generally predictive of severity of CKD progression and cardiovascular risk. However, some assumptions about the control of ADMA have been challenged: the primacy of the kidney as a metabolic organ for plasma ADMA regulation has come under scrutiny and the relative importance of the two isoforms of the ADMA-metabolizing enzymes dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolases (DDAHs) is being re-evaluated. Alterations in NOS also contribute to CKD progression with the endothelial isoform playing a major role in diabetic nephropathy. SUMMARY: Improving our understanding of ADMA regulation is important since pharmacologic targeting of DDAH is underway. The major role of endothelial NOS-derived nitric oxide in diabetic nephropathy should lead to novel therapies. The beneficial actions of dietary nitrate supplementation on blood pressure and kidney disease are of considerable clinical relevance.
