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

Cadherin-11 has been proposed as a biomarker of kidney fibrosis, but whether it drives disease was unclear. Huffstater et al. show that genetic or antibody blockade of cadherin-11 limits fibrosis, preserves renal function, and prevents stiffening of the fibrogenic niche across 3 injury models. The authors argue that cadherin-11 affects fibroblasts, leading to their activation by reinforcing the cell's force-generating machinery.
