The effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers on serum ischemia-modified albumin levels in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAmong one of the common hereditary causes of chronic kidney disease is autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and its incidence rate is reported as one between 500 and 1.000 individuals. The most common complications of ADPKD are hypertension (HT) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). HT occurring in the early stage of ADPKD leads to deteriorations in renal function.
aimsIt was aimed to investigate the ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels and the effect of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers on serum IMA levels in patients with ADPKD.
methodsOne hundred and fifteen patients were included as ADPKD (n = 50), HT (n = 35), and healthy control (HC) groups (n = 30). Patients with ADPKD and HT were divided into two subgroups as RAAS blocker-users and non-users.
resultsSerum IMA levels were detected as 0.42 (0.17-0.80) in ADPKD and 0.28 (0.04-0.51) in HT and 0.36 (0.22-0.56) in HC groups as absorbance units (ABSU), and the highest serum IMA level was seen in Group ADPKD. Serum IMA levels were 0.33 ± 0.14 in RAAS blocker-users and 0.41 ± 0.11 ABSU in non-users with ADPKD. Serum IMA levels were witnessed to be significantly lower in RAAS blocker-users in Groups ADPKD (p = 0.038) and HT (p = 0.004), compared to non-users. Given basal and 6-month values of those with ADPKD, the levels of serum IMA within 6 months were significantly lower (p = 0.002).
conclusionsWe consider that serum IM levels should be assessed in oxidative stress (OS)-related conditions, such as ADPKD, and RAAS blockers may be effective in reducing serum IMA levels in ADPKD and HT patients.
