Relationship between Microalbuminuria and Disease Activity in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

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.
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
BACKGROUND Introducing a non-invasive method for determining disease activity is important in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). So in this study, we aimed to assess the association between disease activity index and microalbuminuria in patients with UC. METHODS In the present cross-sectional study, 84 patients with UC were selected. The disease activity was calculated by the partial Mayo clinic score. Microalbuminuria was assessed using the immunoturbidimetric method in a first-voided sample in the morning in two consecutive days and the mean of these two measurements was reported as urinary microalbumin level. Serum C reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and fecal calprotectin were measured respectively using conventional turbidimetric immunoassay, Westergren method, and ELISA methods. RESULTS The mean age of the participants was 40.01 ± 12.85 years, 60.8% of them were female and 53.5% had microalbuminuria. The frequency of microalbuminuria was significantly higher in patients with active compared with inactive inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There were significant differences between the patients with active and inactive disease regarding CRP, ESR, and calprotectin (
