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

backgroundThe prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Kidney biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing the underlying etiology of CKD, but the procedure carries complication risks. The aim of this study was to identify novel noninvasive biomarkers correlating with kidney function and histopathology in biopsy-proven CKD patients.

methodsWe profiled 2402 urinary microRNAs (miRNAs) to identify and confirm differentially expressed miRNAs associated with kidney function and histopathology in patients with diabetic nephropathy (n = 58) or lupus nephritis (n = 89), important etiologies of CKD, compared with healthy controls (n = 93 and 119, respectively). Top performing miRNAs were then measured in 2 independent multi-institutional cohorts of patients with diabetes mellitus with (n = 74) or without nephropathy (n = 71) and systemic lupus erythematosus with (n = 86) or without (n = 37) nephritis.

resultsIn patients with diabetic nephropathy, miR-2861, miR-1915-3p, and miR-4532 were down-regulated (>10-fold,

conclusionsWe have identified novel miRNAs that correlate with histopathological lesions and functional markers of kidney damage to facilitate sensitive, specific, and noninvasive detection of diabetic nephropathy and lupus nephritis.
