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

Studies of a TAZ knockout mouse reveal a novel function of the transcriptional regulator TAZ, that is, as a binding partner of the F-box protein beta-Trcp. TAZ-/- mice develop polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and emphysema. The calcium-permeable cation channel protein polycystin 2 (PC2) is overexpressed in kidneys of TAZ-/- mice as a result of decreased degradation via an SCF(beta-Trcp) E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway. Replacements of serines in a phosphodegron motif in TAZ prevent beta-Trcp binding and PC2 degradation. Coexpression of a cytoplasmic fragment of polycystin 1 blocks the PC2-TAZ interaction and prevents TAZ-mediated degradation of PC2. Depletion of TAZ in zebrafish also results in a cystic kidney accompanied by overexpression of PC2. These results establish a common role of TAZ across vertebrate species in a protein degradation pathway regulated by phosphorylation and implicate deficiencies in this pathway in the development of PKD.
