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

Background: Aside from renin expression, little is known about the molecular markers or signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of Juxtaglomerular Cell Tumors (JGCTs). This study aimed to elucidate the molecular characteristics underlying JGCTs. Methods: An 8-year-old girl diagnosed with JGCT underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Paraffin-embedded tumor tissues were obtained for Spatial Transcriptomic sequencing (STs). The publicly available TCGA database was used to compare the gene expression profiles with those from STs. Results: The patient presented with typical clinical manifestations of JGCTs. Spatial transcriptomic analysis revealed that juxtaglomerular cells were surrounded by dendritic, endothelial, mast cells, and luminal cells. High expression of Conclusion: Spatial transcriptomics revealed that high KISS1 expression plays a key role in JGCT development. In addition, the PPARG, NOTCH, and PDGFB pathways were identified as potential regulators of renin secretion.
