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

Lipocalin-2 (Lcn-2) is rapidly upregulated in macrophages after renal tubular injury and acts as renoprotective and pro-regenerative agent. Lcn-2 possesses the ability to bind and transport iron with high affinity. Therefore, the present study focuses on the decisive role of the Lcn-2 iron-load for its pro-regenerative function. Primary mouse tubular epithelial cells were isolated from kidney tissue of wildtype mice and incubated with 5μM Cisplatin for 24h to induce injury. Bone marrow-derived macrophages of wildtype and Lcn-2
