Advances in mesenchymal stem cell therapy for lupus nephritis.
Review in World journal of stem cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most common and serious complications of systemic lupus erythematosus, which can lead to end-stage renal disease, and is an important cause of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Treatment options include glucocorticoids, immunosuppressive agents and the addition of biologics. Recently, the therapeutic role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in LN has received extensive attention worldwide. MSCs can suppress autoimmunity, alleviate proteinuria and restore renal function by modulating the functions of various immune cells and reducing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Several clinical trials have investigated MSC treatment in LN with promising but sometimes inconsistent outcomes. This review summarizes the sources of MSCs and mechanisms in immunoregulation. Furthermore, it examines clinical trials evaluating the efficacy, safety, and limitations of MSC therapy in LN. By highlighting advances and ongoing challenges, this review underscores the potential of MSCs for LN treatment. More large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to support the effectiveness of this therapy and pave the way for personalized and combinatorial therapeutic approaches.
