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

Bioengineered, transplantable kidney tissue using decellularized scaffolds offers a promising strategy to overcome the shortage of donor kidneys that limits organ transplantation for patients with end stage renal disease. These kidney scaffolds retain essential extracellular matrix architecture, providing a biologically active niche for recellularization. Successful generation of bioengineered kidney tissues includes enhanced patent vasculature and mature, functional nephrons with collecting ducts. Here, we report the development of engineered kidney tissue consisting of reconstituted kidney scaffolds and human pluripotent stem cell-derived nephron and ureteric bud progenitors. Structural analysis of recellularized kidney scaffolds showed advanced nephron structures that became more mature and exhibited interconnected nephron and collecting ducts.
