A cut above (and below): Protein cleavage in the regulation of polycystin trafficking and signaling.
Review in Cellular signalling, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 polycystin-1 and 2 proteins, encoded by the genes mutated in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, are connected to a large number of biological pathways. While the nature of these connections and their relevance to the primary functions of the polycystin proteins have yet to be fully elucidated, it is clear that many of them are mediated by or depend upon cleavage of the polycystin-1 protein. Cleavage of polycystin-1 at its G protein coupled receptor proteolytic site is an obligate step in the protein's maturation and in aspects of its trafficking. This cleavage may also serve to prime polycystin-1 to play a role as a non-canonical G protein coupled receptor. Cleavage of the cytoplasmic polycystin-1C terminal tail releases fragments that are able to enter the nucleus and the mitochondria and to influence their activities. Understanding the nature of these cleavages, their regulation and their consequences is likely to provide valuable insights into both the physiological functions served by the polycystin proteins and the pathological consequences of their absence.
