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

PAX2 is a transcription factor belonging to the evolutionarily conserved paired box family and is required during development of the central nervous system and genitourinary axis. Mutations in the PAX2 gene cause a rare autosomal dominant renal-coloboma syndrome, characterized by optic nerve colobomas and renal hypoplasia. Recent analysis of a spontaneous PAX2 mutant mouse model (1Neu) revealed that the major cause of renal hypoplasia is reduced branching of the ureteric bud (UB) and fewer nephrons. We have observed that this abnormality is associated with a striking increase in the number of UB cells undergoing programmed cell death during nephrogenesis. To ascertain whether apoptosis is directly linked to the level of PAX2 expression, we have studied the role of PAX2 in cultured renal cells. We show that mIMCD-3 cells, a murine collecting duct cell line with high endogenous PAX2 expression, undergo apoptosis when transfected with anti-sense PAX2. In contrast, HEK293 cells expressing exogenous PAX2 are protected against apoptotic death induced by caspase-2. PAX2 has no effect on proliferation of embryonic kidney or in cultured kidney cells. Our observations imply a direct role for PAX2 in survival of ureteric bud cells.
