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

Aberrant signaling pathways of the acquired immune system are implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) phenotypes. Understanding the complex abnormalities of lymphocyte subpopulations in CKD is a prerequisite for elucidating their implication in uremic cardiomyopathy. T cell subsets display various patterns of association with indices of myocardial function in both experimental and clinical CKD models. The role of Tregs in CVD and CKD has attracted significant research interest. Although experimental data suggest a protective role of Tregs from the development of arterial hypertension- and pressure overload-induced myocardial hypertrophy, there might be a change in the regulatory T cell (Treg) phenotype towards a profibrotic one in the settings of CKD and heart failure. Depletion of B lymphocytes is a hallmark of CKD and heart failure, bearing adverse prognostic significance, yet evidence of B lymphocytes' involvement in the pathogenesis of myocardial damage is currently lacking. Considering that myocardial remodeling is the final outcome of diverse pathogenic processes targeting the heart, the aim of this review is to present the evidence available up to now regarding the role of acquired immune cells in the pathogenesis of the structural and functional alterations of the myocardium in CKD.
