Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an indicator of interstitial damage and a predictor of kidney function worsening of chronic kidney disease in the early stage: a pilot study.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to examine whether plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels predict the outcome of kidney function and correlate with the severity of tubulointerstitial damages in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
methodsIn this prospective 18-month cohort study of 112 patients with CKD between 2010 and 2011, associations between plasma NGAL levels and estimated glomerular filtration ratio (eGFR), further worsening of kidney function and histological lesion on kidney biopsy were investigated.
resultsSerum levels of creatinine and eGFR before the study were 1.48 ± 0.65 mg/dl and 42.6 ± 22.0 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionPlasma NGAL is a useful marker of interstitial lesions in patients with CKD and a predictor of further kidney worsening in the early CKD stage.
