Depletion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells alleviates kidney damage in murine membranous nephropathy.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Based on previous studies on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells in patients with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN), we successfully established a murine PMN model to investigate the relationship between MDSCs, T cells, and disease progression. Our study demonstrated that MDSCs and their subclasses, as well as Th17 and T helper 2 (Th2) immune responses, were enhanced. In contrast, the proportion of T helper 1 (Th1) and regulatory T (Treg) cells decreased with PMN progression. Depletion of MDSCs with gemcitabine reduced the proportion of Th17 and Th2 cells and the expression of related transcription factors. Conversely, the proportions of Th1 and Treg cells increased in the circulation, spleen, lymph nodes, and kidneys, alleviating the clinical manifestations and pathological damage to the renal tissue in PMN model mice. These findings suggest that MDSCs, along with Th17 and Th2 responses, play critical roles in PMN progression. MDSCs may contribute to disease progression by regulating the differentiation and immune response of T-cell subclasses. The data provide new insights into the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of membranous nephropathy.
