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

Human kidneys produce more than 4 million litres of virtually protein-free primary urine in a lifetime. In healthy individuals, the sieving process is accomplished by the glomerular filter without the smallest sign of clogging, even in old age. How nature accomplishes this extraordinary task is a mystery, but unravelling the functioning of the glomerular filter is important. The basic principles that govern glomerular filtration are probably also true for peripheral filtering by fenestrated capillaries. In addition, understanding the sieving process is a prerequisite to understanding the pathogenesis of proteinuria (that is, the leakage of plasma proteins into the urine). Proteinuria is the hallmark of glomerular disease and a major risk factor for systemic cardiovascular complications, a fact that emphasizes the relationship between the glomerular and peripheral filtering capillaries. In this Review, we briefly summarize the major models that have been proposed for the mechanisms of glomerular filtration and discuss their strengths and limitations. A special emphasis is placed on the 'electrokinetic model' that we have proposed, a model that could potentially resolve many of the seemingly strange characteristics of the glomerular filtration barrier.
