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

Urinary angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is significantly increased in diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. While studies on its clinical significance are still underway, its urinary expression, association with metabolic and renal parameters has been in the recent past considerably studied. The recent studies have demystified urine ACE2 in many ways and suggested the roles it could play in the management of diabetic nephropathy. In all studies the expression of urinary ACE2 was determined by enzyme activity assay and/with the quantification of ACE2 protein and mRNA by methods whose reliability are yet to be evaluated. This review summarizes recent findings on expression of urinary ACE2, examines its relationship with clinical parameters and highlights possible applications in management of diabetic nephropathy.
