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

Renal fibrosis (RF) constitutes the common end-point of all kinds of chronic kidney disease (CKD), regardless of the initial cause of disease. The aim of the present study was to identify the key players of fibrosis in the context of diabetic nephropathy (DN). A systematic review and meta-analysis of all available genetic association studies regarding the genes that are included in signaling pathways related to RF were performed. The evaluated studies were published in English and they were included in PubMed and the GWAS Catalog. After an extensive literature review and search of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database, eight signaling pathways related to RF were selected and all available genetic association studies of these genes were meta-analyzed.
