Tenascin-C Is a Major Component of the Fibrogenic Niche in Kidney Fibrosis.
Article in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology : JASN, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 80 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Kidney fibrosis initiates at certain focal sites in which the fibrogenic niche provides a specialized microenvironment that facilitates fibroblast activation and proliferation. However, the molecular identity of these fibrogenic niches is poorly characterized. Here, we determined whether tenascin-C (TNC), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is a component of the fibrogenic niche in kidney fibrosis.
