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

backgroundAfter bilateral kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), monocytes infiltrate the kidney and differentiate into proinflammatory macrophages in response to the initial kidney damage, and then transition to a form that promotes kidney repair. In the setting of unilateral IRI (U-IRI), however, we have previously shown that macrophages persist beyond the time of repair and may promote fibrosis.

methodsMacrophage homing/survival signals were determined at 14 days after injury in mice subjected to U-IRI and

resultsFailure to resolve tubular injury after U-IRI results in sustained expression of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor by renal tubular cells, which directly stimulates expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (

conclusionsGM-CSF-induced MCP-1/CCR2 signaling plays an important role in the cross-talk between injured tubular cells and infiltrating immune cells and myofibroblasts, and promotes sustained inflammation and tubular injury with progressive interstitial fibrosis in the late stages of U-IRI.
