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

Primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) is the most common chronic kidney disease in childhood, where podocyte injury is a key factor in the occurrence of kidney disease. In the present study, the expression of IL-17 in renal tissues of patients with PNS and its relationship with podocyte injury were examined. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), western blot analysis and immunochemistry were used to measure the expression of IL-17 in renal biopsies of patients with ONS, including 9 patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), 15 patients with mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) and 9 patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), in addition to 15 normal kidney tissues. IL-17 was found to be highly expressed in the renal tissues from patients with PNS, with the highest expression levels found in tissues from patients with FSGS and the lowest in those from MCNS. A negative correlation was observed between the levels of IL-17 mRNA and PCX mRNA in renal tissues, whereas a positive correlation between IL-17 mRNA levels and the number of urinary podocytes in patients with PNS was found.
