Exploring the role of the complement system, endothelial injury, and microRNAs in thrombotic microangiopathy after kidney transplantation.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveWe investigated whether the recipient's complement system function, kidney graft endothelial ultrastructural injury, and microRNA (miRNA) expression before transplantation may be associated with the risk of posttransplant
methodsComplement system function assessment, histological and ultrastructural examination of preimplantation and kidney graft biopsies, and microRNA assessment were performed on kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with
resultsOn the basis of the clinical course, histological findings, and miRNA patterns, the following two
conclusionsAlternative complement pathway abnormalities in KTRs and endothelial ultrastructural injury on preimplantation biopsy might be associated with
