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

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of chronic kidney disease. It has been proven that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have therapeutic effects on kidney disease. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) are MSCs that are derived from dental pulps in exfoliated deciduous teeth from young patients and therefore have a high proliferation rate and an easy access. Hence, we aimed to explore the effect of SHED on DN in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. SHED were administered via the tail vein. Blood glucose, serum triglycerides and cholesterol, body weight, and urinary albumin were measured before and after administration. At 8 weeks after administration, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and electron microscopy were employed to examine pathological changes in glomerular and tubulointerstitial tissue. Kidney weight and serum IL-1, IL-10, TNF-
