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

Extensive damage is thought to occur to endothelial cells in renal vasculitis and other glomerulopathies. The state of inflammation of these endothelial cells was investigated through the use of a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) directed against thrombospondin (TSP), von Willebrand factor (vWF), integrins (alpha IIb beta 3, alpha v beta 3), CD36, and classical markers of inflammation (P-selectin, E-selectin, ICAM-1, VCAM). Results show that the anti-TSP MAb (LYP10) stains large areas of interstitium in focal sclerosis, vasculitis, membranous glomerulonephritis (GN), and diabetic GN but does not in normal kidney. In contrast, very limited areas are stained by LYP10 in minimal change nephropathy and Berger's disease. On paraffin-embedded specimens these areas stained by LYP10 appear edematous and early fibrous. Up-regulation of vWF and ICAM-1 is matched by an increased binding of LYP10 to the interstitium. In addition, fibrous crescents in injured glomeruli are stained by LYP10. This study reports for the first time an increased TSP secretion in glomerulopathies. Such TSP secretion may be part of physiological adaptive changes associated with inflammation and early fibrosis.
