Serum insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 levels as an indicator for disease severity in enterohemorrhagic
Article in Renal failure, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundInsulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP) 2 plays an important role in the regulation of cell adhesion, migration, growth, and apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of serum IGFBP2 as a biomarker for disease activity and severity in hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) induced by enterohemorrhagic
methodsIGFBP2 production by human renal glomerular endothelial cells (RGECs) after exposure to Shiga toxin 2 (Stx-2) was investigated
resultsStx-2 induced the production of IGFBP2 in RGECs in a dose-dependent manner. Serum IGFBP2 levels were significantly higher in patients with HUS than in HCs and correlated with disease severity. Additionally, serum IGFBP2 levels were significantly higher in patients with encephalopathy than in those without encephalopathy. A serum IGFBP2 level above 3585 pg/mL was associated with a high risk of encephalopathy. Furthermore, serum IGFBP2 levels significantly correlated with serum levels of tau and inflammatory cytokines associated with the development of HUS.
conclusionsCorrelation of serum IGFBP2 level with disease activity in patients with HUS suggests that IGFBP2 may be considered as a possible indicator for disease activity and severity in HUS. Larger studies and additional experiments using various cells in central nervous system should elucidate the true value of IGFBP2 as a clinical diagnostic marker.
