Alagille, Notch, and robustness: why duplicating systems does not ensure redundancy.
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The mammalian kidney forms from several populations of progenitors that only persist during embryogenesis. The epithelial nephron progenitors reside in the cap mesenchyme (CM), whereas mesangial and endothelial cell progenitors reside in the neighboring stromal mesenchyme (SM). After a ureteric bud (UB) signal induces mesenchymal to epithelial transition of some CM cells, they form a nascent epithelial ball (a renal vesicle, or RV) that requires signals mediated by Notch receptors to separate proximal from distal fates. Two Notch receptors (Notch1 and Notch2) and two ligands (Jagged1 and Delta1) are expressed in the RV. Notably, instead of providing sufficient redundancy to ensure that losing any one allele will be inconsequential to human health, a reduction in the dose of one ligand (Jagged1) or one receptor (Notch2) is causally associated with a rare developmental syndrome (Alagille syndrome, or ALGS) affecting eye, kidney, liver, and craniofacial development. Here we discuss our current understanding of the molecular basis for the nonredundant role of Notch2 in this process, and the avenue for new therapeutic strategies that these insights provide.
