Elevated ALOX12 in renal tissue predicts progression in diabetic kidney disease.

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 kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major causes of end-stage renal disease and one of the significant complications of diabetes. This study aims to identify the main differentially expressed genes in DKD from transcriptome sequencing results and analyze their diagnostic value. The present study sequenced db/m mouse and db/db mouse to determine the ALOX12 genetic changes related to DKD. After preliminary validation, ALOX12 levels were significantly elevated in the blood of DKD patients, but not during disease progression. Moreover, urine ALOX12 was increased only in macroalbuminuria patients. Therefore, to visualize the diagnostic efficacy of ALOX12 on the onset and progression of renal injury in DKD, we collected kidney tissue from patients for immunohistochemical staining. ALOX12 was increased in the kidneys of patients with DKD and was more elevated in macroalbuminuria patients. Clinical chemical and pathological data analysis indicated a correlation between ALOX12 protein expression and renal tubule injury. Further immunofluorescence double staining showed that ALOX12 was expressed in both proximal tubules and distal tubules. Finally, the diagnostic value of the identified gene in the progression of DKD was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) value for ALOX12 in the diagnosis of DKD entering the macroalbuminuria stage was 0.736, suggesting that ALOX12 has good diagnostic efficacy. During the development of DKD, the expression levels of ALOX12 in renal tubules were significantly increased and can be used as one of the predictors of the progression to macroalbuminuria in patients with DKD.
