The Presence and Location of Podocytes in Glomeruli as Affected by Diabetes Mellitus.

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
The primary purpose of the kidney, specifically the glomerulus, is filtration. Filtration is accomplished through the glomerular filtration barrier, which consists of the fenestrated endothelium, glomerular basement membrane, and specialized epithelial cells called podocytes. In pathologic states, such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD), variable glomerular conditions result in podocyte injury and depletion, followed by progressive glomerular injury and DKD progression. In this work we quantified glomerulus and podocyte structural changes in histopathology image data derived from a murine model of DM. Using a variety of image processing techniques, we studied changes in podocyte morphology and intra-glomerular distribution across healthy, mild DM, and DM glomeruli. Our feature analysis provided feature trends which we believe are reflective of DKD pathology; while glomerular area peaked in mild DM, average podocyte number and distance from the urinary pole continued to decrease and increase, respectively, throughout DM. Ultimately, this study aims to augment the set of quantifiable image biomarkers used for evaluation of DKD progression in digital pathology, as well as underscore the importance of engineering biologically-inspired image features.
