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

Podocytes (PODs) play a critical role in maintaining glomerular filtration function, and their injury is a key driver of progressive podocytopathies (PCPs). Despite their clinical importance, the molecular and spatial mechanisms underlying POD injury remain poorly understood. We generated a single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and high-resolution spatial transcriptomic (ST) dataset from kidney tissues of patients with five major PCP subtypes. Our analysis revealed distinct molecular signatures among PCP subtypes, injury-related cytoskeletal alterations, and POD-centered microenvironmental features associated with clinical outcomes. Through integrative analysis, we found
