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

The application of spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies is booming and has already yielded important insights across many different tissues and disease models. In nephrology, ST technologies have helped to decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms in kidney diseases and have allowed the recent creation of spatially anchored human kidney atlases of healthy and diseased kidney tissues. During ST data analysis, the computationally annotated clusters are often superimposed on a histologic image without their initial identification being based on the morphologic and/or spatial analyses of the tissues and lesions. Herein, histopathologic ST data from a human kidney sample were modeled to correspond as closely as possible to the kidney biopsy sample in a health care or research context. This study shows the feasibility of a morphology-based approach to interpreting ST data, helping to improve our understanding of the lesion phenomena at work in chronic kidney disease at both the cellular and the molecular level. Finally, the newly identified pathology-based clusters could be accurately projected onto other slides from nephrectomy or needle biopsy samples. Thus, they serve as a reference for analyzing other kidney tissues, paving the way for the future of molecular microscopy and precision pathology.
