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

Urine has the potential to become a better source of biomarkers. Urinary proteins are affected by many factors; therefore, differentiating between the variables associated with any particular pathophysiological condition in clinical samples is challenging. To circumvent these problems, simpler systems, such as animal models, should be used to establish a direct relationship between disease progression and urine changes. In this study, a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model was used to observe tubular injury and the eventual development of renal fibrosis, as well as to identify differential urinary proteins in this process. Urine samples were collected from the residuary ureter linked to the kidney at 1 and 3 weeks after UUO. Five hundred proteins were identified and quantified by LC-MS/MS, out of which 7 and 19 significantly changed in the UUO 1- and 3-week groups, respectively, compared with the sham-operation group. Validation by western blot showed increased levels of Alpha-actinin-1 and Moesin in the UUO 1-week group, indicating that they may serve as candidate biomarkers of renal tubular injury, and significantly increased levels of Vimentin, Annexin A1 and Clusterin in the UUO 3-week group, indicating that they may serve as candidate biomarkers of interstitial fibrosis.
