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

backgroundFRMD3 polymorphisms has suggested that they could be an alternative test to differentiate diabetic nephropathy (DN) from nondiabetic renal disease (NDRD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. This study was performed to investigate the relationship between the FRMD3 gene and clinical characteristics of DN.

methodsPatients who already had renal pathologic results were tested for FRMD3 polymorphisms. The subjects were classified into three groups; DN with diabetic retinopathy (DR), DN without DR, and DM with NDRD. FRMD3 polymorphisms were analyzed in each group.

resultsThe prevalence of GG, CG, and CC was 44.4%, 42.2%, and 13.3% respectively. There was no significant difference in clinical parameters, which consisted of disease duration, proteinuria, and complications in DN with or without DR and DM with NDRD. The G allele was mainly found in DN with DR patients (50.8%) whereas the C allele was found in DM with NDRD patients (43.5%) (p = 0.02). There was a significant association between the CC genotype in NDRD when compared to GG (p = 0.001). In addition, the C allele was 2.10-fold more often associated with NDRD than the G allele (p = 0.03). The CC genotype was correlated with risk for NDRD than the GG and GC genotypes, with odds ratios of 6.89 and 4.91, respectively (p = 0.02).

conclusionC allele presentation, especially homozygous CC, was associated with NDRD pathology in patients with overt proteinuria. Hence, kidney biopsy is suggested in those with the C allele or homozygous CC genotype, regardless of retinopathy manifestations.
