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

Diabetes is associated with significantly increased rates of kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy (DN), a severe microvascular complication that can lead to end-stage renal disease. End-stage renal disease needs to be treated by dialysis or kidney transplantation and also is associated with cardiovascular disease and macrovascular complications. Therefore, effective renal protection is critical to reduce the rates of mortality associated with diabetes. Although key signal transduction and gene regulation mechanisms have been identified and several drugs are currently in clinical use, the rates of DN are still escalating, suggesting the imperative need to identify new biomarkers and drug targets. The recent discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their cellular functions provide an opportunity to fill these critical gaps. Because miRNAs can modulate the actions of key factors involved in DN such as transforming growth factor-β, they could be novel targets for the treatment of DN. This review covers the recent studies on the roles of miRNAs and miRNA circuits in transforming growth factor-β actions and in DN.
