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

Lack of effective drugs for acute kidney injury (AKI) grades 1-2 is a crucial challenge in clinic. Our previously single-center clinical studies indicated Chuan Huang Fang (CHF) might have nephroprotection in AKI on chronic kidney disease (CKD) (A on C) patients by preventing oxidant damage and inhibiting inflammation. Reduced glutathione (RG) has recently been shown to increase the clinical effectiveness of high-flux hemodialysis among patients with severe AKI. In this multicenter randomized controlled clinical study, we designed a new protocol to assess the efficacy and safety of CHF combining RG in patients with A on C. We also explored therapeutic mechanisms from renal fibrosis biomarkers. 98 participants were randomly and equally divided into the RG and RG + CHF subgroups. The RG and RG + CHF groups received general treatments with RG and a combination of RG and CHF, respectively. The therapy lasted for 2 weeks. In this study, the primary assessment result was a difference in the slope of serum creatinine (Scr) over the course of 2 weeks. The secondary evaluation outcomes were alterations in blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary AKI biomarkers, renal fibrosis biomarkers (transforming growth factor-
