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

Mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) participate in inflammation and repair after kidney injury, reflecting their complex nature. Dissection into refined functional subunits has been challenging and would benefit understanding of renal pathologies. Flow cytometric approaches are limited to classifications of either different MNP subsets or functional state. We sought to combine these two dimensions in one protocol that considers functional heterogeneity in each MNP subset. We identified five distinct renal MNP subsets based on a previously described strategy. In vitro polarization of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) into M1- and M2-like cells suggested functional distinction of CD86 + MHCII + CD206- and CD206 + cells. Combination of both distinction methods identified CD86 + MHCII + CD206- and CD206 + cells in all five MNP subsets, revealing their heterologous nature. Our approach revealed that MNP composition and their functional segmentation varied between different mouse models of kidney injury and, moreover, was dynamically regulated in a time-dependent manner. CD206 + cells from three analyzed MNP subsets had a higher ex vivo phagocytic capacity than CD86 + MHCII + CD206- counterparts, indicating functional uniqueness of each subset. In conclusion, our novel flow cytometric approach refines insights into renal MNP heterogeneity and therefore could benefit mechanistic understanding of renal pathology.
