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

The aim of this study was to investigate some biochemical parameters of renal function and the vascular, glomerular, tubular, and interstitial manifestations in the progression of nephropathy induced by renal microembolism. Renal microembolism was induced by the arterial injection of polymethacrylate microspheres in the remnant kidney of nephrectomized rats. Animals 110-120 days old were randomly divided into three groups: the control group (C; normal), the nephrectomized group (S; nephrectomized that did not undergo renal microembolism), and the model group (M, nephrectomized animals that underwent renal arterial microembolism). The animals were evaluated 30, 60, and 90 days after the induction of a renal microembolism. Blood and urine samples were collected to determine serum creatinine (Cr) and urea (Ur) concentrations and urine total protein (Pt) concentrations. The kidneys were weighed and processed for histopathological analysis using hematoxylin and eosin (HE), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), Mallory-Azan, and Picro-Sirius staining. The samples were also subjected to immunohistochemistry with a proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). The data demonstrated evidence of the occurrence of vascular, glomerular, tubular, and interstitial abnormalities in the renal tissue, and changes in the biochemical parameters of renal function (serum Cr and Ur and of 24-h urine Pt) in this experimental model of nephropathy induced by renal microembolism, which may indicate the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Additionally, the findings indicate that this is a good reproducibility model that may be useful for studying the pathogenesis of CKD that is caused by atheroembolism and possible treatment alternatives.
