Polyploid tubular cells and chronic kidney disease.
Article in Kidney international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Defective DNA repair drives chronic kidney disease (CKD), but mechanisms are unclear. Airik and colleagues use a genetic model of defective DNA repair mimicking karyomegalic nephritis, a form of CKD characterized by tubular epithelial cells (TEC) with large nuclei and tubulointerstitial nephritis. They show that DNA damage in TEC triggers endoreplication leading to polyploid TEC and CKD. Blocking endoreplication preserved kidney function, suggesting that DNA damage triggers CKD via TEC polyploidization, questioning the concept of G2/M-arrest.
