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

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the predominant primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, characterized by the deposition of IgA-containing immune complexes in the glomerular mesangium. Despite advances in supportive care, there is a lack of IgAN-specific therapies capable of halting IgAN progression. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic target, owing to their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and tissue repair properties. Accumulating evidence suggests that MSCs hold considerable therapeutic potential for the treatment of IgAN. This review summarizes the potential mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of MSCs in IgAN, with a particular focus on their roles in the gut, liver, and kidney, and discusses current challenges and future directions for MSCs-based therapies.
