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

introductionBile acids play an important role in the digestion of dietary lipids. Bile acid metabolism is regulated by the digestive system. The kidney is an important organ of the urinary system and is believed to play a minor role in bile acid excretion; however, many recent studies have reported an increased serum bile acid level and alterations in bile acid homeostasis in both clinical and animal model studies on chronic renal failure. The existing research findings on the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon were mostly derived from animal model studies, but clinical investigations have been limited. MATERIALS AND

methodsKidney tissues and serum and urine samples from CRF patients and normal controls were studied.

resultsWe found increased serum bile acid levels and decreased urine bile acid output levels in chronic renal failure patients. Mesangial cell and endothelial cell proliferation, glomerular sclerosis, renal interstitial fibrosis, and intrarenal vascular sclerosis were observed based on hematoxylin-eosin and Masson trichrome staining pathology analysis. Scatter diagram and Pearson correlation analysis showed that in chronic renal failure patients, the estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum bile acid level were interrelated. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting results indicated that reabsorption and secretion of bile acid at the apical surface of the proximal renal tubular did not contribute to the elevated serum BA level.

conclusionThe increase in plasma bile acid is due to decreased bile acid filtration through the kidneys in CRF patients.
