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

purpose of reviewThe lymphatic system plays a major but overlooked role in maintaining fluid homeostasis. Given the unique fluid homeostasis functions of the kidneys, dysregulation of the renal lymphatic system underlies the development of self-propagating congestive pathomechanisms. In this review, we outline the roles of the renal lymphatic system in heart failure (HF). RECENT

findingsStudies have uncovered several pathomechanisms involving the renal lymphatic system in congestive states, such as impaired interstitial draining by the renal lymphatic system, impaired structure and valves of renal lymphatics, lymphatic-induced increase in renal reabsorption of water and sodium, and development of albuminuria with proteinuria-induced renal lymphangiogenesis. These self-propagating mechanisms result in "renal tamponade" with manifestations of cardiorenal syndrome and inappropriate renal response to diuretics. Dysregulation of the renal lymphatic system is integral to the development and progression of congestion in HF. Targeting renal lymphatics may provide a novel pathway to treat intractable congestion.
