Circulating Angiogenic T Cells Are Increased in Lupus Nephritis Patients.
Observational study in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
BACKGROUND Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), especially with lupus nephritis (LN), undergo vascular damage and repair during the course of the disease. Since the recently identified angiogenic T cells (Tang) are involved in endothelial repair coupled with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), this study investigated the circulating Tang cells in LN patients and their potential correlations with disease features. MATERIAL AND METHODS Circulating Tang cells and EPCs were assessed by flow cytometry in peripheral blood samples from 67 SLE patients; of these, 32 had LN and 30 were matched healthy controls (HCs). The plasma levels of interleukin IL-17, IL-8, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were quantified by immunoassays. RESULTS The percentage of circulating Tang cells in LN patients was significantly increased as compared to the non-LN patients and HCs, and they were positively correlated with the level of EPC and VEGF. Additionally, circulating Tang cell percentages were positively correlated with the extent of proteinuria in LN patients. CONCLUSIONS The increased levels of circulating Tang cells in LN patients might play a role in the balance of endothelium dysfunction in these patients.
