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

backgroundEmerging evidence suggests that renal inflammation, characterized by the activation of renal macrophages, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI). However, reliable research methods for visualizing renal macrophages remain limited. In this study, we utilized positron emission tomography (PET) imaging combined with a radiolabeled ligand targeting colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) to assess the potential of CSF1R-PET as a non-invasive tool for examining renal inflammation.

methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing analysis was performed to identify imaging biomarkers for activated macrophages in an ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced AKI (I/R-AKI) model. We employed PET and in-vitro autoradiography with

resultsSingle-cell RNA sequencing analysis of publicly available data revealed a dramatic upregulation of CSF1R, primarily expressed in M2 macrophages, in response to I/R-AKI. PET and in-vitro autoradiography showed that retention of
