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

Estrogen, a critical sex hormone, exerts a complex dual role in renal physiology and pathology. While it confers protective effects through anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and hemodynamic-related signaling pathways-slowing chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and improving renal function-it may also promote disease under specific pathological contexts. Sexual dimorphism, mediated primarily by estrogen receptor (ER) signaling networks, plays a pivotal role in this duality. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms of estrogen in kidney disease, the influence of sexual dimorphism, and the double-edged nature of its effects, with an emphasis on precision modulation strategies. By integrating recent basic and clinical findings, we analyze the diverse roles of estrogen across kidney disease models and evaluate its therapeutic potential. Furthermore, we discuss the prospects of applying sex-based precision medicine to kidney disease management, aiming to provide theoretical foundations and guidance for future research and clinical practice.
