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
The intraoperative ischemia in partial nephrectomy (PN) often leads to postoperative renal function impairment and fibrosis, which can be regulated by macrophage polarization. We have previously demonstrated that microvesicles derived from human Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stromal cells (hWJMSC-MVs) attenuated renal ischemia-induced renal fibrosis and contained a substantial quantity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Herein, we investigated whether MSC-MVs regulate macrophage polarization and ameliorate renal fibrosis following ischemia-PN via transferring HGF. A rat model of ischemia-PN was established by 45 min of left renal ischemia followed by removal of 1/3 upper left kidney. MSC-MVs were injected through the tail vein immediately after ischemia. Renal injury biomarkers were measured and histologic analysis was performed to analyze renal injury. A co-culture model of THP-1 macrophages and MSC-MVs was utilized. The expression of M1 markers and M2 markers were determined to evaluate macrophage polarization. MSC-MV administration significantly ameliorated renal inflammation, lesions, and fibrosis in ischemia-PN rats, and promoted M2 macrophage polarization both in rat remnant renal tissues and LPS-treated THP-1 cells. These effects of MSC-MVs were compromised when HGF expression was downregulated in MSC-MVs. Collectively, MSC-MVs promote M2 macrophage polarization and attenuate renal fibrosis following ischemia-PN via transferring HGF.
