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

A report by Neelisetty et al. suggests that TGFBR2 deletion from matrix-producing interstitial cells results in decreased transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling in the cells but does not decrease renal fibrosis after injury. Considered in the context of TGF-β signaling in different cell types involved in renal fibrosis and the existence of other ligands that may produce fibrosis, these findings are provocative, but owing to technical issues of recombination efficiency in inducible models of Cre-lox gene deletion, further studies are needed.
