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

Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, present only in the kidney thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, was studied here in streptozotocin diabetic rats. Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein mRNA in situ hybridization was performed on snap-frozen left kidneys; the right kidneys were perfusion-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded either in paraffin, for Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein immunohistochemistry, or in Epon for stereologic measurements. The length of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and the amount of glycogen were measured and the ultrastructure of the cells was evaluated. Urinary excretion of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, calcium, magnesium and albumin was measured. After 10 and 50 days' duration of diabetes, kidney weight increased 20 and 41%, respectively and the length of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop increased 28 and 56%, respectively, compared with controls. Substantial glycogen accumulations were present in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop, and electron microscopy revealed a significant decrease in organelles and basolateral membranes. After 10 and 50 days' duration of diabetes, in situ hybridization of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein mRNA revealed a fourfold decrease, and the immunostaining for Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein showed a threefold decrease as measured by densitometry. However, urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein excretion rate was increased fivefold and urinary concentration about twofold. Urinary calcium excretion increased three-fold and magnesium twofold, but urinary albumin excretion was not significantly increased. The increased amount of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein, calcium and magnesium in the urine in diabetes occurs here concomitant with severe cellular damage in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop.
