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

One of the major challenges of nephrology is to develop therapeutic strategies to halt the progression of kidney diseases. In clinical settings, nephrotic-range proteinuria correlates with the rate of progression, particularly in glomerular diseases. Hence, the degree of proteinuria has been utilized to monitor the response to treatment as well as to predict outcome. However, the pathophysiology of proteinuria-induced progression remains unknown. Albumin accounts for the majority of the protein in nephrotic urine and as a result of this clinical observation studies have focused on understanding the adverse effects of albumin overload in the kidney. Albumin is internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis in proximal tubule cells via low density lipoprotein (LDL) type receptor, megalin. Albumin at high concentrations mimicking nephrotic milieu has resulted in the upregulation of pro-inflammatory/fibrogenic genes and apoptosis in proximal tubule cells in in vivo and in vitro models of albumin overload. These properties of albumin on proximal tubule cells may explain extensive tubulointerstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy observed in end-stage kidney disease. In addition to tubular toxicity, podocytes respond to proteinuric states by cytoskeletal alterations and loss of the differentiation marker synaptopodin. Identifying the molecular network of proteins involved in albumin handling will enable us to manipulate the specific signaling pathways and prevent damage caused by proteinuria.
