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

During metanephric kidney development, renin expression in the renal vasculature begins in larger vessels, shifting to smaller vessels and finally remaining restricted to the terminal portions of afferent arterioles at the entrance into the glomerular capillary network. The mechanisms determining the successive expression of renin along the vascular axis of the kidney are not well understood. Since the cAMP signaling cascade plays a central role in the regulation of both renin secretion and synthesis in the adult kidney, it seemed feasible that this pathway might also be critical for renin expression during kidney development. In the present study we determined the spatiotemporal development of renin expression and the development of the preglomerular arterial tree in mouse kidneys with renin cell-specific deletion of G(s)alpha, a core element for receptor activation of adenylyl cyclases. We found that in the absence of the G(s)alpha protein, renin expression was largely absent in the kidneys at any developmental stage, accompanied by alterations in the development of the preglomerular arterial tree. These data indicate that the maintenance of renin expression following a specific spatiotemporal pattern along the preglomerular vasculature critically depends on the availability of G(s)alpha. We infer from our data that the cAMP signaling pathway is not only critical for the regulation of renin synthesis and secretion in the mature kidney but that it also is critical for establishing the juxtaglomerular expression site of renin during development.
