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

Recent studies indicate that filtered albumin is retrieved in the proximal tubule (PT) via three pathways: receptor-mediated endocytosis via cubilin (high affinity) and megalin (low affinity), and fluid-phase uptake. Expression of megalin is required to maintain all three pathways, making it challenging to determine their respective contributions. Moreover, uptake of filtered molecules varies between the sub-segments (S1, S2 and S3) that make up the PT. Here we used new and published data to develop a mathematical model that predicts the rates of albumin uptake in mouse PT sub-segments in normal and nephrotic states, and partially accounts for competition by β
