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

Offspring of diabetic mothers have developmental renal abnormalities; thus, we investigated the effects of the diabetic milieu on kidney development. Four groups of host rats, including insulin-deficient and insulin-treated streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, normal controls, and insulin-treated nondiabetic rats, were prepared. After 38 days, rats received ocular implants of E14 fetal rat kidneys. Nine days later the fetal kidney grafts were harvested for analysis of glomerular development and expression of fibronectin, laminin, laminin-beta 2, and alpha-smooth muscle actin and m170, two additional markers of mesangial maturation. The rate of glomerular maturation was delayed in grafts placed in hyperglycemic, insulin-deficient diabetic rats. These glomeruli contained few mesangial cells or matrix, and laminin-beta 2 expression was reduced as compared with controls. Mesangial expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin and m170 was not detected. In contrast, grafts placed in insulin-treated diabetic animals had increased numbers of mesangial cells and expanded mesangial matrix. The content of laminin-beta 2 and expression of m170 and alpha-smooth muscle actin were also increased in these grafts. These data show that hyperglycemia and insulin status influence laminin isoform expression and play important roles in mesangial development.
