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 mineralocorticoid aldosterone is indispensable for the control of blood pressure and fluid volume in mammals. It acts in large part to increase the abundance and activity of the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC), which mediates apical Na(+) entry in the distal parts of the kidney tubules. Aldosterone acts through the mineralocorticoid receptor to alter the transcription of specific genes, including SGK1 and GILZ1. Recent evidence suggests that these key aldosterone-regulated factors function within a unique multi-protein ENaC-regulatory-complex that governs the net cell surface expression and activity of the channel. Another aldosterone-induced protein, CNK3 (connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of Ras 3), also stimulates ENaC and has all of the features of a scaffolding protein. With these observations in mind, we discuss the possibility that CNK3 coordinates the dynamic assembly of the ENaC-regulatory-complex, and promotes context-appropriate aldosterone signal transduction in the regulation of epithelial Na(+) transport.
