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

backgroundThis was a randomized, open-label, controlled phase II clinical trial to investigate the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of intrarenal artery infusion of autologous peripheral-blood-derived CD34+ cells for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD; ie, stage III or IV). MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween October 2016 and July 2018, 52 consecutive patients with CKD at stage III or IV were randomly allocated into a treatment group (TG; 2.5 × 10

resultsAll patients were uneventfully discharged after CD34+ cell therapy. The baseline endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) populations did not differ between TG and CG (P > .5). Flow cytometric analysis showed increases in circulating EPC (ie, CD34+KDR+CD45

conclusionCD34+ cell therapy was safe and improved 1-year outcome.
