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

In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the inexorable growth of numerous fluid-filled cysts leads to massively enlarged kidneys, renal interstitial damage, inflammation, and fibrosis, and progressive decline in kidney function. It has long been recognized that interstitial fibrosis is the most important manifestation associated with end-stage renal disease; however, the role of abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM) production on ADPKD pathogenesis is not fully understood. Early evidence showed that cysts in end-stage human ADPKD kidneys had thickened and extensively laminated cellular basement membranes, and abnormal regulation of gene expression of several basement membrane components, including collagens, laminins, and proteoglycans by cyst epithelial cells. These basement membrane changes were also observed in dilated tubules and small cysts of early ADPKD kidneys, indicating that ECM alterations were early features of cyst development. Renal cystic cells were also found to overexpress several integrins and their ligands, including ECM structural components and soluble matricellular proteins. ECM ligands binding to integrins stimulate focal adhesion formation and can promote cell attachment and migration. Abnormal expression of laminin-332 (laminin-5) and its receptor α
