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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health concern with high morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a pivotal risk factor for the progression of CKD, and the rate of AKI-to-CKD progression increases with aging. Intrarenal inflammation is a fundamental mechanism underlying AKI-to-CKD progression. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), ectopic lymphoid aggregates formed in nonlymphoid organs, develop in aged injured kidneys, but not in young kidneys, with prolonged inflammation and maladaptive repair, which potentially exacerbates AKI-to-CKD progression in aged individuals. Dysregulated immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of various kidney diseases, such as IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and diabetic kidney diseases, thereby deteriorating kidney function. TLSs also develop in several kidney diseases, including transplanted kidneys and renal cell carcinoma. However, the precise immunologic mechanisms driving AKI-to-CKD progression and development of these kidney diseases remain unclear, which hinders the development of novel therapeutic approaches. This review aims to describe recent findings from single-cell analysis of cellular heterogeneity and complex interactions among immune and renal parenchymal cells, which potentially contribute to the pathogenesis of AKI-to-CKD progression and other kidney diseases, highlighting the mechanisms of formation and pathogenic roles of TLSs in aged injured kidneys.
