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

Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and their receptors exert a dynamic role in cell-matrix interactions during kidney development and repair processes. They provide a physical substratum for the spatial organization of the cells, but also regulate cell growth and proliferation by interacting with growth factors. In addition, they can regulate signal transduction pathways by binding to integrins or by modulating the activity of signaling molecules such as Wnts. ECM and ECM-related molecules control multiple (if not all) steps of kidney development, including ureteric bud branching morphogenesis, mesenchymal condensation, nephron formation, terminal differentiation of renal tubules, and glomerular basement membrane assembly. Their role still needs to be better documented in renal repair. The emergence of conditionally mutated mice for basement membrane components will provide a useful tool to demonstrate further the involvement of ECM and ECM-related proteins in development and repair.
