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

Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with the development of peritoneal fibrosis (PF). Understanding the changes of immune environments and peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) may lead to the discovery of mechanisms of PF. Therefore, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to interrogate cell composition and transcriptome characteristics in dialysate of continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD) patients at different stages. Results showed that six major cell populations were identified in overnight effluent dialysate. Two subsets of macrophages (Macro-c2-SSP1 and Macro-c5-FCN1&SSP1) and PMCs (HSPA1A + PMCs and RPL34 + PMCs) had the property of promoting fibrosis. Long-term patients had higher markers of cytotoxic CD8+T cells. Moreover, the expression levels of fibrosis-related genes were significantly increased and PMCs interacted closely with immune cells in the long-term group (p < 0.05). These data reveal new phenotypes and functional characteristics of immune cells and PMCs in dialysate of CAPD patients with different stages, which provide potential mechanisms and therapeutic strategies for PF.
