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
Diabetic nephropathy is a major contributor to the morbidity and mortality of patients with diabetes. TNF-α expression is elevated during diabetes and is implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy; however, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of TNF-α on the basolateral inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir)4.1/Kir5.1 channels in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of rat kidneys using western blotting and the patch clamp technique to provide a theoretical basis for the cause of the decrease in kidney concentrating capacity during diabetes. The results demonstrated that urinary TNF-α excretion and protein TNF-α expression in the TAL increased and basolateral Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channel activity decreased during diabetes; however, diabetic rats exhibited amelioration of Kir4.1/Kir5.1 activity with a soluble TNF-α antagonist, TNF receptor fusion protein (TNFR:Fc). These results suggested that TNF-α inhibited the activity of the basolateral Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channel in the TAL of rat kidneys during diabetes. In addition, the protein expression levels of phospholipase A
