Case report: effect of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on immunoglobulin A nephropathy after acute renal failure.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. 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
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy is an inflammatory, autoimmune condition that may lead to renal impairment in its most aggressive forms. In this case report, a 50-year-old male with acute renal failure was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, having elevated creatinine levels (3.0 mg/dL) and hypertension. He received intravenous infusions of a total of 120 million umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) and was followed-up for 6 months. No adverse events were reported during or after administration or any of the follow-up visits. Creatinine levels decreased to and remained normal (1.0 mg/dL) in the 6 months following treatment. Anti-hypertensive medications were no longer needed. UC-MSC administration was safe, well-tolerated, and beneficial for this patient with IgA nephropathy.
