Loss of NGAL protects against albumin-induced kidney inflammation and fibrosis.
Article in Renal failure, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Increased albuminuria represents a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is associated with the development and progression of kidney inflammation and fibrosis. The expression of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a biomarker for kidney damage, is increased in CKD patients and experimental animal models of kidney damage. However, it is unknown whether NGAL is necessary for the promotion of kidney inflammation and fibrosis associated with the albumin exposition. Male C57BL6/J wild-type (WT) and NGAL (knockout) KO mice (8-12 weeks,
