The association between immune cells and acute kidney injury: insights from Mendelian randomization.
Article in Renal failure, 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
backgroundImmune disorder is a prominent feature of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the specific role of different immune cell phenotypes in the pathogenesis of AKI remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the relevance of 731 immune phenotypes to AKI. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe obtained data on 731 immune cell phenotypes from the GWAS Catalog and Open GWAS databases and undertook a series of quality control measures to identify exposure-related instrumental variables (IV). Data on acute renal failure (ARF) and rapid kidney function decline were obtained from the Finngen R11 and CKDGen databases as an outcome. Subsequently, we performed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) using inverse variance weights to explore the causal relationship between 731 immune cell characteristics and ARF and rapid kidney function declineas at the gene level. Sensitivity analyses, including leave-one-out and other MR analysis models, were performed.
resultsAt the significance level corrected by Bonferroni, 9 immune phenotypes, including CD25 on IgD + CD24- B cell, were associated with ARF; 4 immune phenotypes, including SSC-A on plasmacytoid dendritic cell, were associated with rapid kidney function decline. Sensitivity analysis indicated robust results.
conclusionOur study demonstrates a strong causal relationship between specific types of immune cells and AKI by genetic means, providing valuable insights for future clinical studies.
