The role of mesenchymal stem cells in IgA nephropathy: current evidence and future directions.
Review in Stem cell research & therapy, 2026. 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
Primary glomerular disease, particularly IgA Nephropathy (IgAN), is one of the leading causes of kidney disease burden. IgAN is characterized by IgA deposition in the mesangial area; this is a typical pathological feature that leads to nephritis symptoms. Though the cause is unknown, the quadripartite attack theory is generally accepted. There are many reasons, but the biggest is an imbalance in the immune system. Recently, some studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can regulate IgA production and clearance by controlling B cells, T cells, and mucosal epithelial cells. Currently, the standard treatment for IgAN primarily relies on supportive care and immunosuppression, but these approaches are ineffective and have serious side effects. In contrast, stem cell therapy is a promising option and shows great promise in diagnosing and treating various kidney diseases. This review provides an update on recent advances in IgAN using stem cell therapy, including disease mechanisms, treatment pathways, clinical trials, case reports, safety concerns, current challenges, and prospects.
