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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of miRNA-223 and NLRP3 in IgA patients and the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), so as to realize the basic pathological changes of IgA patients, the expression of miRNA-223 and NLRP3 in IgA patients and the changes of patients' body indexes before and after the treatment of TCM.

methodsFirstly, according to the clinical data, patients with IgA nephropathy were divided into different groups according to their pathological changes. After that, the chemical sections and staining steps of the immune kidney were carried out. Immunohistochemical pv-9000 two-step method was used to stain it. By this method, miRNA-223 and NLRP3 genes in kidney were determined. After that, the image analysis method was used for semi quantitative experiment. Finally, the intervention of TCM was used to study the changes of indicators before and after treatment.

resultsmiRNA-223 and NLRP3 genes could be found mainly in the cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells and the interstitium of monocyte in renal tissue, and there were significant differences between miRNA-223 and NLRP3 genes in the expression levels of proteinuria alone, hematuria albuminuria alone and hematuria alone. There was a positive correlation between miRNA-223 and NLRP3 expression and 24-hour urinary protein in IgA nephropathy. In addition, it also had positive correlation with MCP-1 and IL-18.

conclusionThis study could provide some direction and guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment of IgA nephropathy.
