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
purposeAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease that may progress to end-stage renal disease, characterized by increased kidney volume due to cystic formations. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between serum uromodulin levels, total kidney volume and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with ADPKD.
methodsThis study included a total of 54 ADPKD patients and 18 healthy volunteers (control group). Total kidney volumes were calculated through magnetic resonance images using ellipsoid method. Serum uromodulin measurements were measured using an ELISA method.
resultsSerum uromodulin levels were lower in patients compared with the control group (2.47 ± 0.16 vs 2.6 ± 0.28, p = 0.021). There was no significant difference in uromodulin values among the patients in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1-2, 3 and 4-5. TKV measurements of CKD stage 4-5 patients were significantly higher than the stage 1-2 patients (p = 0.015). A negative correlation was observed between TKV and eGFR (r = - 0.433, p = 0.001). A positive correlation was observed between uromodulin and eGFR (r = 0.274, p = 0.02). When the serum levels of uromodulin and the level of eGFR were evaluated using simple linear regression analysis, R
conclusionThese findings are consistent with previous studies that reported that serum uromodulin may be a good biomarker for demonstrating renal function in the early stages of CKD, before eGFR levels deteriorate. Serum uromodulin level may be useful in demonstrating renal functions in the follow-up of individuals with ADPKD.
