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

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the potential of the estimated protein excretion rate (ePER) as a substitute for the spot urinary protein-creatinine ratio (uPCR) in clinical reports for accurately assessing urinary protein excretion in China. Methods: We included 1721 patients in the study and compared the differences in levels, correlation, bias, methodological evaluation between uPCR, ePER, and 24-h urinary protein. Results: Significant differences ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the potential of ePER as a valuable tool for accurately assessing urinary protein excretion. Nonetheless, its limitations should be considered, especially in specific patient populations.
