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

purposeThe purpose of this study was evaluating the early diagnostic value of two specific tubular markers neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in diabetes nephropathy. PATIENTS AND

methodsCross-sectional study was carried in three groups of patients from 10/2017 to 10/2018 in Military Hospital 103. Group I included 30 healthy peoples with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >60 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsUrine KIM-1 and NGAL increased progressively from control group (57.29 ± 25.91 pg/mL; 25.71 ± 13.69 ng/mL) to the group of diabetic patients with uACR <30 mg/g (167.06 ± 44.01 pg/mL; 37.42 ± 10.89 ng/mL) and the group of diabetic patients with uACR ≥30 mg/g) (p < 0.05). There were moderate correlations between KIM-1 (r = 0.48, p < 0.05) and NGAL (r = 0.45, p < 0.05) with uACR. There was a mild correlation between KIM-1 and NGAL (r = 0.29, p < 0.05). KIM-1 and NGAL are the independent tests to detect diabetic nephropathy. The sensivity and specificity of KIM-1 with cut-off value of 174.95 pg/mL were 62.37% and 73.48%, respectively; the sensivity and specificity of NGAL with cut-off value of 35.2 ng/mL were 60.45% and 70.37%, respectively.

conclusionKIM-1 and NGAL in urine are independent markers for early diagnostic diabetic nephropathy.
