Article in Kidney international reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07651397 (Open Labeled , Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Trial on the Effect of a Carbohydrate Restricted Plant Dominant Diet on MCP-1 Mediated Inflammatory Signaling in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

introductionThe variable disease course of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) makes it important to develop biomarkers that can predict disease progression, from a patient perspective and to select patients for renoprotective treatment. We therefore investigated whether easy-to-measure urinary biomarkers are associated with disease progression and have additional value over that of conventional risk markers.

methodsAt baseline, inflammatory, glomerular, and tubular damage markers were measured in 24-hour urine collections (albumin, IgG, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1),

resultsA total of 104 ADPKD patients were included (40 ± 11 years, 39% female, eGFR 77 ± 30, mGFR 79 ± 30 ml/min per 1.73 m

conclusionUrinary β2MG and MCP-1 excretion were both associated with GFR decline in ADPKD, and had added value beyond that of conventional risk markers. These markers therefore have the potential to serve as predictive tools for clinical practice.
