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

Peroxidasin (PXDN) is a multi-domain heme peroxidase that catalyzes sulfilimine cross-links in type IV collagen, a reaction essential for basement membrane stability. In addition to its structural role, PXDN has been implicated in oxidative stress regulation, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis. Antibody-based detection is critical for defining PXDN expression and localization, yet few commercial reagents have been rigorously validated, limiting reproducibility. Here, we assessed the specificity and performance of a commercially available anti-PXDN antibody (Abbexa, abx101906) in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry applications. Validation was performed in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue and in a primary kidney fibroblast line under PXDN silencing and overexpression conditions. The antibody yielded reproducible labeling patterns and demonstrated specificity across cellular contexts. These findings establish abx101906 as a reliable tool for immunofluorescence-based detection of PXDN. This validation provides a foundation for future studies of PXDN biology in kidney development, disease, and potential therapeutic targeting.
