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

introductionWe examined the impact of autoantibodies on the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

methodsA total of 112 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes who had CKD were enrolled in this study and followed for a mean of 45 months. Sera from these patients were screened for anti-EPOR antibodies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

resultsAnti-EPOR antibodies were detected in 26 patients (23%). Anti-EPOR antibodies were associated with low hemoglobin concentrations and decreased renal function. In patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy, anti-EPOR antibodies were associated with increased levels of interstitial inflammation. A decrease in renal function was observed more frequently in patients with antibodies than in those without antibodies, and the presence of the antibodies together with well-known clinical parameters, including proteinuria and low glomerular filtration rate, was a significant risk factor for end-stage renal disease. In human tubular epithelial HK-2 cells, IgG fractions containing anti-EPOR antibodies upregulated the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA under a high concentration of glucose.

conclusionAnti-EPOR antibodies might be involved in the progression of renal lesions and in the impaired erythropoiesis in type 2 diabetic patients with CKD. Furthermore, the presence of anti-EPOR antibodies may be an additional predictor for end-stage renal disease in type 2 diabetes.
