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

Renal tubular epithelial cells are among the earliest renal parenchymal cells to be injured in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI). Numerous studies have confirmed that fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) can regulate the occurrence and development of inflammation during disease progression. We found that FGL2 expression is elevated under AKI conditions. However, the role of FGL2 in AKI remains unclear. To elucidate the role of FGL2 in AKI, we employed lentiviral and adeno-associated virus for transfection in cellular and murine models. Furthermore, by leveraging datasets from the gene expression omnibus and gene set enrichment analysis databases, we identified the inflammation-related genes in AKI and predicted their interaction with FGL2. Both
