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

purposeThe aim of the study is to assess the level of nitric oxide metabolites and arginase in the urine of children with glomerulonephritis depending on clinical evolutional stages of the disease. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe prospective study included 65 children with primary glomerulonephritis, 25 children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) and 20 children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), 20 children with mixed form of chronic glomerulonephritis(CGN).

resultsThus in the SRNS group, during relapse period the concentration of NO metabolites in urine was increased by 4,2 times, while in SSNS by 3,0 times in comparison with the control group. The concentration of NO metabolites in the urine increased by 4,8 times during relapse CGN mixed form in comparison to the control values. During remission, the levels of NO metabolites in the urine remain increased in both groups. In relapse of SSNS arginase levels in the urine increased by 4,5 times in comparation to SRNS, thus the concentration of arginase was reduced. During remission period arginase levels in the urine were practically reduced to the levels of the control group. In the mixed form of CGN, relapse period arginase levels in the urine were increased by 2,9 times and during remission were decreased by almost 1,9 times in comparision to the control group.

conclusionsAssesment of NO metabolites and arginase in urine can be used as a diagnostic method in order to monitor renal disease process, evolution and effectiveness of the applied treatment.
