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
Background: Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) represent significant histopathological manifestations contributing to long-term kidney allograft failure after transplantation. Identifying M2 macrophage (Mφ2)-related biomarkers could enhance early diagnosis and prognosis prediction, improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to explore Mφ2-related biomarkers for IFTA via bioinformatics and machine learning approaches. Methods: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from the GSE98320 dataset were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Immune cell profiling using the CIBERSORT algorithm and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to elucidate Mφ2-related biomarkers modules. Three machine learning algorithms were applied to identify hub genes. A nomogram model was developed and validated using multiple external datasets. Consensus clustering was employed to stratify patients into high-risk and low-risk groups based on hub gene expression. Results: We obtained three hub genes ( Conclusions: Our findings uncovered novel Mφ2-related biomarkers for IFTA, offering diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets to improve kidney allograft outcomes. This study highlighted the potential of integrating bioinformatics and machine learning approaches to advance personalized medicine in kidney transplantation.
