Effect of octreotide and insulin on manifest renal and glomerular hypertrophy and urinary albumin excretion in long-term experimental diabetes in rats.

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
Treatment of diabetic rats with octreotide can inhibit early diabetic renal hypertrophy. Octreotide administration for 6 months from the day of diabetes induction inhibits renal hypertrophy and diminishes increase in urinary albumin excretion. To investigate the effect of octreotide on manifest diabetic renal changes, octreotide treatment was given for 3 weeks after an untreated diabetic period of 3 or 6 months. In addition, following 6 months of diabetes, a group of diabetic rats was treated with insulin for 3 weeks. Renal and glomerular hypertrophy, and increased urinary albumin excretion were observed in diabetic rats compared to non-diabetic control rats from 3 months and throughout the study period. Octreotide treatment did not affect body weight, food intake, blood glucose or serum fructosamine levels. We observed no effect of octreotide treatment on renal and glomerular hypertrophy or urinary albumin excretion compared to placebo-treated diabetic rats. Insulin treatment for 3 weeks after 6 months of untreated diabetes normalized blood glucose and serum fructosamine levels, and furthermore renal hypertrophy was significantly diminished compared to the placebo-treated diabetic rats. However, insulin treatment had no effect on glomerular hypertrophy or urinary albumin excretion. In conclusion, octreotide treatment for 3 weeks following an untreated diabetic period of 3 or 6 months is unable to reduce the increased renal and glomerular volume or urinary albumin excretion. However, insulin treatment for 3 weeks with induction of euglycaemia diminishes the renal hypertrophy but has no effect on glomerular volume or urinary albumin excretion.
