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

The prevalence and mortality rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) remain high, with ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) being a major cause in clinical settings. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in inducing the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the kidneys during I/R, leading to persistent kidney damage. However, immature DCs (imDCs) maintain self-tolerance under homeostatic conditions. Therefore, targeting the immunomodulatory duality of DCs to prevent I/R-AKI is of significant importance. In this study, we found Pre-treatment of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) with the EP4 receptor agonist L-902,688 induced the generation of EP4
