Effect of Riociguat on Adenine-Induced Chronic Kidney Disease in Rats.
Article in Biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Riociguat is a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator that increases the levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP is known to play a key role in regulating kidney function. This research sought to investigate the possible protective effects of riociguat on the kidneys in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD was induced in male Wistar rats through adenine administration. A total of 24 rats were allocated into four groups and administered treatments over a period of 35 days. Group 1 received a normal diet and a vehicle (carboxymethylcellulose (0.5%)), serving as the control. Group 2 received adenine (0.25%
