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

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health burden characterized by immune dysregulation. Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets can reflect immune status across CKD pathologies. We evaluated associations between lymphocyte subsets and clinical parameters in patients undergoing renal biopsy in a contemporary cohort. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of adults (≥16 years) who underwent native renal biopsy at Tongji Hospital, China, from January 2012 to December 2024. The lymphocyte subsets assessed by flow cytometry included combined T/B/NK cells (TBNK), total T cells (CD3 Results: In total, 1,033 individuals were enrolled. TBNK levels declined with age (β = -4.33, 95% CI: -7.35 to -1.32) and were lower in females than males (β = -84.26, 95% CI: -157.29 to -11.23). Lymphocyte subset distributions varied by nephritis pathology: ANCA-GN and lupus nephritis showed lower levels than other types, whereas purpura nephritis was relatively higher. TBNK counts correlated positively with estimated glomerular filtration rate (β = 11.48, 95% CI: 6.78 to 16.19), with similar patterns for total B, total T, CD4 Conclusions: Lymphocyte and subset counts relate to renal function, immune indices, and pathology. Their measurement may help evaluate disease severity and immune status in nephritis and inform clinical management.
