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

Tissue-resident macrophage (TRM) is a specialized subset of macrophage that resides within specific tissues and organs. TRMs play crucial roles in resisting pathogen invasion, maintaining the homeostasis of the immune microenvironment, and promoting tissue repair and regeneration. The development and function of TRMs exhibit significant heterogeneity across different tissues. Kidney TRMs (KTRMs) originate from both embryonic yolk sac erythro-myeloid progenitors and the fetal liver, demonstrating the capacity for self-renewal independent of bone marrow hematopoiesis. KTRMs are not only essential for the maintenance of renal homeostasis and the monitoring of microvascular environment, but contribute to renal injury due to inflammation, fibrosis and immune dysfunction in kidneys. In this review, we summarize currently available studies on the regulatory role of KTRMs in processes of renal injury and repair. The altering effects and underlying mechanisms of KTRMs in regulating local tissue cells and immune cells in different renal diseases are reviewed, primarily including lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, renal fibrosis, and renal carcinoma. Understanding the plasticity and immune regulatory functions of KTRMs may offer new insights into the pathogenesis and the exploration of therapeutic strategies of kidney diseases.
