The expression of somatostatin receptor 2 decreases during cyst growth in mice with polycystic kidney disease.
Article in Experimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.), 2018. 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
impact statementSomatostatin (SST) analogs have been shown to halt cyst growth and progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease by several clinical trials. However, two studies suggest that the effect of the SST analog octreotide on kidney growth during the first year of treatment is reduced in the subsequent follow-ups and the kidney enlargement resumes. This biphasic change in kidney growth during octreotide treatment may be partially explained by alterations in SSTR2 expression. Here, we found that SSTR2 is mainly expressed in distal tubules and collecting ducts in murine kidneys, and the expression of SSTR2 decreases during cyst growth in two PKD mouse models. Our data may thus provide possible explanations for the lack of efficacy in long-term treatment with SST analogs.
