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

Polycystin-1 (PC1) has an essential function in renal tubular morphogenesis and disruption of its function causes cystogenesis in human autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. We have previously shown that recombinant human PC1 is cis-autoproteolytically cleaved at the G protein-coupled receptor proteolytic site domain. To investigate the role of cleavage in vivo, we generated by gene targeting a Pkd1 knockin mouse (Pkd1(V/V)) that expresses noncleavable PC1. The Pkd1(V/V) mice show a hypomorphic phenotype, characterized by a delayed onset and distal nephron segment involvement of cystogenesis at postnatal maturation stage. We show that PC1 is ubiquitously and incompletely cleaved in wild-type mice, so that uncleaved and cleaved PC1 molecules coexist. Our study establishes a critical but restricted role of cleavage for PC1 function and suggests a differential function of the two types of PC1 molecules in vivo.
