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

Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) is a type I membrane protein, comprising an extracellular portion and a cytoplasmic portion. It is also named as HAVCR1 (Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 1) or TIM1 (T-cell immunoglobulin mucin receptor 1), and is expressed in the kidney, liver, and spleen. KIM-1 plays different roles via various molecular targets in immune diseases and kidney injury. KIM-1 is involved in HAV infections, autoimmunity, immune tolerance, and atopic diseases. The urinary KIM-1 level is closely related to its tissue level, and correspondingly related to kidney tissue damage. KIM-1 is not only an early biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI), but also has a potential role in predicting the long-term renal outcome. In this review, we provide a summary of KIM-1's activities, focusing on the latest studies concerning the important roles of KIM-1 in the immune system and kidney diseases.
