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

Kynurenic acid (KYNA), a small molecule derived from the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway, can readily diffuse across biological membranes and act as an endogenous ligand for receptors such as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr). While KYNA dysregulation is implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, the role of the KYNA-Ahr-IL-6 axis in MSC proliferation and differentiation remains poorly defined. We investigated the impact of KYNA on murine bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) at various concentrations (10-200 μM) and time points (8-48 h). The BM-MSC phenotype was assessed via flow cytometry; proliferation, via cell counting; and the gene expression of
