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
Chronic kidney disease and associated comorbidities (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases) manifest with an accelerated ageing phenotype, leading ultimately to organ failure and renal replacement therapy. This process can be modulated by epigenetic and environmental factors which promote loss of physiological function and resilience to stress earlier, linking biological age with adverse outcomes post-transplantation including delayed graft function (DGF). The molecular features underpinning this have yet to be fully elucidated. We have determined a molecular signature for loss of resilience and impaired physiological function, via a synchronous genome, transcriptome and proteome snapshot, using human renal allografts as a source of healthy tissue as an in vivo model of ageing in humans. This comprises 42 specific transcripts, related through IFNγ signalling, which in allografts displaying clinically impaired physiological function (DGF) exhibited a greater magnitude of change in transcriptional amplitude and elevated expression of noncoding RNAs and pseudogenes, consistent with increased allostatic load. This was accompanied by increased DNA methylation within the promoter and intragenic regions of the DGF panel in preperfusion allografts with immediate graft function. Pathway analysis indicated that an inability to sufficiently resolve inflammatory responses was enabled by decreased resilience to stress and resulted in impaired physiological function in biologically older allografts. Cross-comparison with publically available data sets for renal pathologies identified significant transcriptional commonality for over 20 DGF transcripts. Our data are clinically relevant and important, as they provide a clear molecular signature for the burden of "wear and tear" within the kidney and thus age-related physiological capability and resilience.
