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

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are associated with inflammatory kidney diseases, but their pathogenesis is unclear. A chronic high phosphate diet (HPD) in mice increases serum levels of phosphate and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) which is associated with progressive tubule damage and fibrosis. We hypothesized that chronic HPD induces TLS in the kidneys and thereby promotes progressive kidney injury. After only 2 months, mice on HPD showed increased tubule damage accompanied by the formation of perivascular immune cell clusters of B and T cells in the corticomedullary zone and in the cortex. In addition, lymphatic vessels were observed, accompanied by increased expression of venous markers and cell adhesion molecules. Further analyses showed a time-dependent induction of the immunofibroblast-derived chemokines and lymphotoxins, which are important for the differentiation of immunofibroblasts into follicular dendritic cells (FDC) and fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC). Already after 4 months of HPD, proliferating B-cell clusters with FDCs, T-cell clusters with FRCs, podoplanin
