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

Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) typically carry a mutation in either the PKD1 or PKD2 gene, which leads to massive cyst formation in both kidneys. However, the large intrafamilial variation in the progression rate of ADPKD suggests involvement of additional factors other than the type of mutation. The identification of these factors will increase our understanding of ADPKD and could ultimately help in the development of a clinically relevant therapy. Our review addresses the mechanisms by which various biologic processes influence cyst formation and cyst growth, thereby explaining an important part of the inter- and intrafamilial variability in ADPKD. Numerous studies from many laboratories provide compelling evidence for the influence on cyst formation by spatiotemporal gene inactivation, the genetic context, the metabolic status, the presence of existing cysts, and whether the kidneys were challenged by renal injury. Collectively, a solid basis is provided for the concept that the probability of cyst formation is determined by functional PKD protein levels and the biologic context. We model these findings in a graphic representation called the cystic probability landscape, providing a robust conceptual understanding of why cells sometimes do or do not form cysts.
