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

The objectives of the study were to improve the model system of diabetic nephropathy in nonhuman primates and assess the early renal damage. Diabetes was induced in monkeys by streptozotocin, and the animals were administered exogenous insulin to control blood glucose (BG). Animals were divided into four groups, including the normal group (N = 3), group A (streptozotocin diabetic model with control of BG < 10 mmol/L, N = 3), group B (streptozotocin diabetic model with control of BG between 15 and 20 mmol/L, N = 4), and group C (streptozotocin diabetic model with control of BG between 15 and 20 mmol/L and high-sodium and high-fat diet, N = 4). The following parameters were evaluated: (1) blood biochemistry and routine urinalysis, (2) color Doppler ultrasound, (3) angiography, (4) renal biopsy, and (5) renal fibrosis-related gene expression levels. Animals in group C developed progressive histologic changes with typical diabetic nephropathy resembling diabetic nephropathy in human patients and exhibited accelerated development of diabetic nephropathy compared with other nonhuman primate models. Significant changes in the expression of the Smad2/3 gene and eNOS in renal tissue were also observed in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy. In conclusion, our model is an excellent model of diabetic nephropathy for understanding the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
