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 investigate the relationships between hematuria, clinicopathological features and renal outcomes in patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (DN).

methodsThis cohort study included 261 patients with DN. Participants were divided into two groups according to number of red blood cells per high-power field (RBC/hpf) in urine sediment: the hematuria (-) group (≤ 3 RBC/hpf) and the hematuria (+) group (> 3 RBC/hpf). Basic clinical parameters were measured at the time of renal biopsy; relationships between hematuria and clinicopathological features and renal outcomes were analyzed.

resultsPatients in the hematuria (+) group often had overt proteinuria. Interstitial inflammation was more severe in the hematuria (+) group than in the hematuria (-) group. Glomerular arteriolar hyalinosis, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy were comparable between groups. For patients with early DN (eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionIn this study, hematuria was associated with more severe renal pathologic lesions in patients with DN. The presence of hematuria could be an independent predictor of renal outcome in patients with early DN.
