Urinary podocyte-derived microparticles in youth with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Article in Diabetologia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers.
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
aims/hypothesisThe release of podocyte-derived microparticles into the urine may reflect early kidney injury in diabetes. We measured the urinary excretion of podocyte-derived microparticles in youth with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and related the values to blood pressure, renal function and blood glucose levels.
methodsCross-sectional, exploratory analysis of urine samples and clinical data from youth with type 1 (n = 53) and type 2 (n = 50) diabetes was carried out. Urinary podocyte-derived microparticle numbers, measured by flow cytometry, were assessed in relation to measures of blood glucose levels and renal function.
resultsPodocyte-derived microparticle excretion (MPE) normalised to urinary creatinine (MP/UCr) was higher in type 1 vs type 2 diabetes (median [IQR] MP/UCr: 7.88 [8.97] vs 1.84 [8.62]; p < 0.0001), despite the type 2 diabetes group having higher blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, median [range]: 124 [110-154] vs 114 [94-143] mmHg) and higher proportions of microalbuminuria (44.0% vs 13.2%), but shorter time since diabetes diagnosis (median [range]: 1.2 [0.0-7.0] vs 6.4 [2.0-13.9] years), than the type 1 diabetes cohort. MPE in youth with type 1 diabetes was associated with blood glucose (p = 0.01) and eGFR (p = 0.03) but not HbA CONCLUSIONS/
interpretationSignificant associations between podocyte MPE, blood glucose levels and eGFR were observed in youth with type 1 diabetes but not in those with type 2 diabetes, notwithstanding increased renal pathology in the type 2 diabetes cohort. These findings suggest that podocyte injury differs in the two diabetes cohorts. Graphical abstract.
