Traffic jam in lung capillaries: inter-organ communication impedes gas exchange after acute kidney injury.
Article in The Journal of clinical investigation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in critically ill patients and triggers a systemic inflammatory response that can contribute to lung injury, ultimately worsening clinical outcomes. However, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies remain unavailable. In this issue of the JCI, Komaru et al. explored leukocyte trafficking and vascular pooling following AKI in mice as an underlying mechanism of acute lung injury. Using intravital microscopy, the authors observed rapid accumulation of neutrophils in pulmonary capillaries within minutes of AKI onset. These neutrophils followed monocytes and slowed blood flow. Notably, disruption of this process improved oxygenation. The findings provide insights into this complex inter-organ crosstalk and open avenues for future research.
