Decreased expression of aquaporin 2 in the collecting duct of mice lacking the vasopressin V1a receptor.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundVasopressin V1a receptor null (V1aR(-/-)) mice recently showed incomplete urinary concentration due to higher urine volume during control and water diuresis (euhydration), but showed normal response during dehydration (Aoyagi et al., Am J Physiol 295: F100-7, 2008).
methodsWater balance, plasma vasopressin, plasma and urine osmolality, and aquaporin 2 (AQP2) expression in the kidney of wild-type (WT) and V1aR(-/-) mice were therefore further examined using improved methods of urine collection (urinary bladder urine).
resultsV1aR(-/-) mice demonstrated a lower urine osmolality (3,360 ± 138 vs. 3,610 ± 47 mOsm/kgH2O) and a higher plasma osmolality (354.3 ± 1.3 vs. 342.5 ± 1.5 mOsm/kgH2O) after dehydration for 24 h compared to WT mice (P < 0.05). In contrast, the plasma vasopressin concentration was significantly (P < 0.001) higher in the V1aR(-/-) mice (48.8 ± 4.8 vs. 22.1 ± 2.4 pg/ml). On the other hand, although the AQP2 protein expression in the kidney was increased after dehydration, the basal (control) and dehydration-induced AQP2 protein levels were significantly lower in V1aR(-/-) mice compared to WT mice (by Western blotting). Staining by an anti-AQP2 antibody in the luminal membrane of the collecting ducts was increased in both V1aR(-/-) and WT mice after dehydration, but was relatively weaker in the V1aR(-/-) mice (by immunohistochemistry). Moreover, urinary excretion of AQP2 protein, an index of the luminal AQP2 expression, was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the V1aR(-/-) mice.
conclusionV1aR signaling may be fundamentally important for the expression of AQP2 in the collecting ducts during control conditions and dehydration.
