Increased c-Met tyrosine kinase expression in segmental renal dysplasia.

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.
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
Renal dysplasia (RD) is a disorganized development of renal parenchyma that results in a deficit of functional renal tissue. It has been suggested in the animal model that increased expression of HGF receptor, c-Met tyrosine kinase in the epithelial cells during kidney development may induce a growth of dysplastic epithelia and result in RD. The aim of this study was to investigate the immunoreactivity of c-Met tyrosine kinase in the dysplastic kidney in order to further understand the pathogenesis of RD. Specimens of dysplastic upper pole kidney were obtained from 19 patients during upper pole partial nephrectomy for non-functioning upper moiety of duplex kidney. In the dysplastic kidney, there was strong c-Met immunoreactivity in the epithelium of primitive tubules. In contrast, c-Met immunoreactivity was barely detectable in the normal kidney. Markedly increased expression of HGF receptor, c-Met tyrosine kinase in renal dysplasia suggests that HGF may be involved in the development of renal dysplasia.
