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

purposeTo evaluate the ability of thiol-disulphide homeostasis to predict renal injury in ureteral obstruction by matching renal scintigraphy and pathological findings in an experimental rat model.

methods24 rats were randomized and divided into 3 groups as sham, partial and complete. Blood samples for biochemical evaluations and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scintigraphy were performed at the beginning and on the 7th day postoperatively. Only a midline abdominal incision was done in sham group. Left ureter of partial group was dissected and gently buried into the psoas muscle. In complete group, left ureter was dissected and ligated.

resultsStatistically significant association was found between left kidney function loss percentage, native thiol, total thiol and creatinine alterations and pathological EGTI (Endothelial, Glomerular, Tubular, Interstitial) scores (r = - 0.867, r = - 0.815, r = 0.745, r = - 0.911; p = 0.000). Statistically significant difference was detected between groups in terms of postoperative native thiol and total thiol values (p = 0.000, p = 0.001). There was also a significant difference in preoperative and postoperative comparisons of these parameters in partial and complete obstruction groups (p = 0.012, p = 0.018). There was a significant difference in terms of postoperative disulphide/native thiol and native thiol/total thiol ratios in complete obstruction group compared to other groups (p

conclusionsAssociation with scintigraphic and pathological results empowers the value of this parameter. Disulphide/native thiol and native thiol/total thiol ratios indicate complete obstruction. These findings may shed light to more comprehensive studies.
