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 endothelin (ET) and prorenin/renin/prorenin receptor (PRR) systems have opposing physiological effects on collecting duct (CD) salt and water reabsorption. It is unknown if the CD ET and renin/PRR systems interact, hence we examined the effects of deleting CD renin or nephron PRR on CD ET system components. PRR knockout (KO) mice were polyuric and had markedly increased urinary ET-1 and inner medullary CD (IMCD) ET-1 mRNA. PRR KO mice had greatly increased IMCD ETA receptor mRNA and protein, while ETB mRNA and protein were decreased. Water loaded wild-type mice with similar polyuria as PRR KO mice had modestly increased urinary ET-1 excretion and inner medullary ET-1 mRNA, while inner medullary ETA and ETB mRNA or protein expression were unaffected. In contrast to PRR KO, CD prorenin/renin KO did not alter ET system components. Taken together, these results suggest that the nephron PRR is involved in regulating CD ET system expression, but this effect may be independent of CD-derived renin.
