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

Natural killer (NK) cells are members of a rapidly expanding family of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). NK cells play roles in the spleen, periphery, and in many tissues, such as the liver, uterine, lung, adipose, and so on. While the immunological functions of NK cells are well established in these organs, comparatively little is known about NK cells in the kidney. Our understanding of NK cells is rapidly rising, with more and more studies highlighting the functional significance of NK cells in different types of kidney diseases. Recent progress has been made in translating these findings to clinical diseases that occur in the kidney, with indications of subset-specific roles of NK cells in the kidney. For the development of targeted therapeutics to delay kidney disease progression, a better understanding of the NK cell with respect to the mechanisms of kidney diseases is necessary. In order to promote the targeted treatment ability of NK cells in clinical diseases, in this paper we demonstrate the roles that NK cells play in different organs, especially the functions of NK cells in the kidney.
