Genetic Factors Related to the Development or Progression of Mesoamerican Endemic Nephropathy.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Over the past two decades, Mesoamerican endemic nephropathy (MeN) has become a major public health problem in certain regions of Mexico and Central American countries. The etiology of this disease is multifactorial, and important environmental factors have been described, such as chronic heat stress, recurrent episodes of dehydration, infections, and exposure to toxins of chemical and biological origin. Genetic and epigenetic factors have been proposed to play significant roles in MeN. Recent studies have analyzed the role of these factors in MeN. In some cases, these factors appear to be associated with accelerated deterioration of established kidney disease due to preexisting endothelial dysfunction and tubulopathy. In other cases, they appear to be associated with early kidney damage, even before occupational exposure, suggesting that they may play a relevant role in the genesis of the disease. Other factors appear to act as risk reducers for developing MeN in areas with a high prevalence of the disease. Therefore, this disease has a rather complex multifactorial etiology, with possible polygenic contributions, possible epigenetic phenomena, and multiple environmental factors.
