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

The PKD/Mhm(cy/+) rat is a widely used animal model for the study of human autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, one of the most common genetic disorders, affecting one in 1000 individuals. We identified a new gene, Anks6, which is mutated (Anks6((p.R823W))) in PKD/Mhm(cy/+) rats. The evidence for a causal link between Anks6((p.R823W)) and cystogenesis is still lacking, and the function of Anks6 is presently unknown. This study presents a novel transgenic rat model that overexpresses the mutated 2.8-kb Anks6((p.R823W)) cDNA in the renal tubular epithelium. The transgenic Anks6((p.R823W)) acts in a dominant-negative fashion and causes a predictable polycystic phenotype that largely mimics the general characteristics of the PKD/Mhm(cy/+) rats. Cyst development is accompanied by enhanced c-myc expression and continuous proliferation, apoptosis, and de-differentiation of the renal tubular epithelium as well as by a lack of translational up-regulation of p21 during aging. Using Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization studies, we identified the first 10 days of age as the period during which transgene expression precedes and initiates cystic growth. Thus, we not only provide the first in vivo evidence for a causal link between the novel Anks6((p.R823W)) gene mutation and polycystic kidney disease, but we also developed a new transgenic rat model that will serve as an important resource for further exploration of the still unknown function of Anks6.
