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
backgroundIt was reported that microalbuminuria and a decline in renal function were associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and renal events and prognostic serious complications. Dietary factors and nutrients affecting microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes remain unclear, and accordingly we conducted a cross-sectional study on the possible relevance of dietary factors to urinary albumin excretion in patients with type 2 diabetes.
methodsForty-two patients with type 2 diabetes participated in this study, and these subjects were categorized into patients without microalbuminuria group with urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) of less than 30 mg/g Cr (n = 29) and a microalbuminuria group with ACR of 30 - 299 mg/g Cr (n = 13). ACR levels were measured using spot urine samples. At the time of examination, body mass index (BMI) and systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured and recorded. We performed sampling fasting-blood and spot urine and conducted a food frequency questionnaire based on food groups to examine dietary habits for the past 1 - 2 months.
resultsThere were no significant differences in sex, age, duration, BMI, blood pressures, biochemical data, and the median of daily intakes of energy and macronutrients between patients without microalbuminuria and microalbuminuria groups. In the intake of 17 food groups per day, fruits were significantly lower in the microalbuminuria group than in patients without microalbuminuria group (the median was 38 g vs. 120 g/day, P < 0.05), but intakes of other food groups were not significantly different between the two groups. Moreover, we examined a model of partial correlation between ACR to the intake of fruits, adjusted by age, sex, glycated hemoglobin and BMI. This partial correlation was insignificantly seen but close to a significant level (partial correlation coefficient: -0.270, P = 0.102).
conclusionsThese results suggest that the intake of fruits may be inversely associated with microalbuminuria in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients. It would be necessary to investigate the exact types and amounts of fruits to be consumed to address microalbuminuria.
