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

Many studies analyze tissue-resident or blood-borne leukocytes to monitor disease progression. We hypothesized that the microvasculature serves as a distinct site for immune cell activity. Here, we investigate microvascular leukocyte phenotypes before, during and after acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice, uncovering unique characteristics in the kidney, liver, and lung. Using single-cell sequencing, we identify several immune cells that were up to 100-fold expanded in the kidney vasculature, including macrophages, dendritic cells (DC), and B cells. Regeneration after AKI is characterized by sustained remodeling of the renal microvascular interface. Homeostatic microvascular C1q
