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

objectiveTo analyze the values of combined detection of urinary micro albumin (mAlb), α1-microglobulin (α1-MG) and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) in the early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN).

methodsNinety-four patients with early DN who were admitted to the hospital between April 2015 and April 2016 were selected and set as a DN group. Moreover, seventy-six patients with diabetes who were admitted to the hospital in the same period were selected and set as a diabetes group, and sixty-four healthy people were selected as set as a control group. The urinary mAlb, α1-MG and NAG of the three groups were detected. Moreover, the patients were divided into a favorable blood glucose control group and a poor blood glucose control group according to the blood glucose control condition of the patients. The detection results of the three groups were compared and statistically analyzed.

resultsThe urinary mAlb, α1-MG and NAG levels of the DN group were significantly higher than those of the diabetes group and control group, and the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). The detection indicator values of the favorable blood glucose control group were much lower than those of the poor blood glucose control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The positive rate of the combined detection of mAlb, α1-MG and NAG levels was 90.2%, which was much higher than that of single indicator (P<0.05).

conclusionCombined detection of urinary mAlb, α1-MG and NAG is sensitive in diagnosing early renal damages in DN patients.
