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

Chronic kidney disease is a public health burden and it remains unknown which genetic loci are associated with kidney function in the Japanese population, our genome-wide association study using the Biobank Japan dataset (excluding secondary kidney diseases, such as diabetes mellitus) clearly revealed that almost half of the top 50 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate are located in the SHROOM3 gene, suggesting that SHROOM3 will be responsible for kidney function. Thus, to confirm this finding, supportive functional analyses were performed on Shroom3 in mice using fullerene-based siRNA delivery, which demonstrated that Shroom3 knockdown led to albuminuria and podocyte foot process effacement. The in vitro experiment shows that knockdown of Shroom3 caused defective formation of lamellipodia in podocyte, which would lead to the disruption of slit diaphragm. These results from the GWAS, in vivo and in vitro experiment were consistent with recent studies reporting that albuminuria leads to impairment of kidney function.
