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

Growth-arrest specific gene 6 (Gas6) is a vitamin K-dependent growth factor for mesangial and epithelial cells. To investigate whether Gas6 is essential for progressive glomerular injury, we constructed Gas6(-/-) mice and examined the role of Gas6 in accelerated nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN), a model of progressive glomerulonephritis. We found less mortality and proteinuria in Gas6(-/-) mice than in wild-type mice following injection of nephrotoxic serum. Glomerular cell proliferation, glomerular sclerosis, crescent formation, and deposition of fibrin/fibrinogen in glomeruli were also reduced in Gas6(-/-) mice. Furthermore, administering Gas6(-/-) mice recombinant wild-type Gas6, but not Gas6 lacking a previously characterized N-terminal gamma-carboxyl group, induced massive proteinuria, glomerular cell proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis, comparable to responses seen in wild-type mice. These data indicate that Gas6 induces glomerular cell proliferation in NTN and suggest that this factor contributes to glomerular injury and the progression of chronic nephritis.
