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

Diabetic complications are linked to oxidative stress, which hampers the cyclic guanosine monophosphate production by inhibiting nitric oxide/soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) signaling. This study aimed to determine whether the administration of a novel sGC activator avenciguat alone or in combination with an SGLT2 inhibitor could slow the progression of renal and liver fibrosis in the type 2 diabetic and uninephrectomized
