Expression profiles of congenital renal dysplasia reveal new insights into renal development and disease.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Congenital renal dysplasia (RD) is a major cause of renal failure in the pediatric population. Although molecular and genetic aspects of RD have been studied in animal models, limited studies have been done in human RD primarily due to lack of available material. To identify novel genes that are associated with RD and normal kidney development, we performed microarray analysis on total RNA extracted from age-matched fetal kidneys of normal and RD patients. In midgestational RD kidneys, we found 180 upregulated and 104 downregulated transcripts compared with normal kidneys. Among the increased transcripts in the dysplastic kidneys were matrix-degrading enzymes (MMP7, MMP19, TIMP1), inflammation- and immunity-related genes, and growth factors. Expression of genes known to be essential for normal kidney development, such as WT1, BMP7, renin, angiotensin receptor 2 (AGTR2), SAL-like 1 (SALL1) and glypican 3 (GPC3), were decreased in dysplastic kidneys. Expression of selected gene products (BMP7, renin, and MMP7) was further confirmed in parallel sections and in several normal and human dysplastic kidneys, supporting the role of these genes as putative RD biomarkers. These results are among the first to reveal disrupted expression profiles during gestation in human RD patients.
