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

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Despite advancements in various treatments, the prevalence of DKD continues to rise, leading to a significant increase in the demand for dialysis and kidney transplantation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a Small cell+Ultra Potent+Scale UP cell (SMUP-Cell), a type of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cell, on DKD in the db/db mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. After administering SMUP-Cells via tail vein injection in db/db mice, the animals were monitored over a three-month period. The
