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

Isoform 1 of the sodium-vitamin C co-transporter (SVCT1) is expressed in the apical membrane of proximal tubule epithelial cells in adult human and mouse kidneys. This study is aimed at analyzing the expression and function of SVCTs during kidney development. RT-PCR and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that SVCT1 expression is increased progressively during postnatal kidney development. However, SVCT1 transcripts were barely detected, if not absent, in the embryonic kidney. Instead, the high-affinity transporter, isoform 2 (SVCT2), was strongly expressed in the developing kidney from E15; its expression decreased at postnatal stages. Immunohistochemical analyses showed a dynamic distribution of SVCT2 in epithelial cells during kidney development. In renal cortex tubular epithelial cells, intracellular distribution of SVCT2 was observed at E19 with distribution in the basolateral membrane at P1. In contrast, SVCT2 was localized to the apical and basolateral membranes between E17 and E19 in medullary kidney tubular cells but was distributed intracellularly at P1. In agreement with these findings, functional expression of SVCT2, but not SVCT1 was detected in human embryonic kidney-derived (HEK293) cells. In addition, kinetic analysis suggested that an ascorbate-dependent mechanism accounts for targeted SVCT2 expression in the developing kidney during medullary epithelial cell differentiation. However, during cortical tubular differentiation, SVCT1 was induced and localized to the apical membrane of tubular epithelial cells. SVCT2 showed a basolateral polarization only for the first days of postnatal life. These studies suggest that the uptake of vitamin C mediated by different SVCTs plays differential roles during the ontogeny of kidney tubular epithelial cells.
