The Expression of Transcription Factors in Fetal Lamb Kidney.
Article in Journal of developmental biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
(1) Background: Renal development involves frequent expression and loss of transcription factors, resulting in the activation of genes. Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1), hepatocyte nuclear factor-1-beta (HNF1β), and paired box genes 2 and 8 (Pax2 and Pax8) play an important role in renal development. With this in vivo study, we examined the period and location of expression of these factors in renal development. (2) Methods: Fetal lamb kidneys (50 days from gestation to term) and adult ewe kidneys were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Serial sections were subjected to immunohistochemistry for WT1, HNF1β, Pax2, and Pax8. (3) Results: Pax2, Pax8, and HNF1β expression was observed in the ureteric bud and collecting duct epithelial cells. We observed expression of WT1 alone in metanephric mesenchymal cells, glomerular epithelial cells, and interstitial cells in the medullary rays and Pax8 and HNF1β expression in tubular epithelial cells. WT1 was highly expressed in cells more proximal to the medulla in renal vesicles and in C- and S-shaped bodies. Pax2 was expressed in the middle and peripheral regions, and HNF1β in cells in the region in the middle of these. (4) Conclusions: WT1 is involved in nephron development. Pax2, Pax8, and HNF1β are involved in nephron maturation and the formation of peripheral collecting ducts from the Wolffian duct.
