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 renal medulla, the inner compartment of the metanephric kidney, plays vital roles in the regulation of body water, electrolyte homeostasis, and systemic blood pressure. It is composed of the loops-of-Henle, the medullary collecting ducts, the vasa recta, and the medullary interstitium. Its epithelial and endothelial components display ordered spatial organization. This organization serves as the structural basis for its function in urine concentration. The urine concentration ability of a renal medulla is also related to its length among species. In this review, the current understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying renal medulla formation (elongation) is summarized, with a focus on the role of Wnt signaling in this developmental process. Renal medulla blunting and effacement is a common symptom of many renal and urological destructions. The knowledge in renal medulla formation should assist efforts in repair and regeneration of a damaged renal medulla, so to improve renal physiology in diseased situations.
