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

We previously showed that mesothelial cells in human peritoneum express the water channel aquaporin 1 (AQP1) at the plasma membrane, suggesting that, although in a non-physiological context, it may facilitate osmotic water exchange during peritoneal dialysis (PD). According to the three-pore model that predicts the transport of water during PD, the endothelium of peritoneal capillaries is the major limiting barrier to water transport across peritoneum, assuming the functional role of the mesothelium, as a semipermeable barrier, to be negligible. We hypothesized that an intact mesothelial layer is poorly permeable to water unless AQP1 is expressed at the plasma membrane. To demonstrate that, we characterized an immortalized cell line of human mesothelium (HMC) and measured the osmotically-driven transmesothelial water flux in the absence or in the presence of AQP1. The presence of tight junctions between HMC was investigated by immunofluorescence. Bioelectrical parameters of HMC monolayers were studied by Ussing Chambers and transepithelial water transport was investigated by an electrophysiological approach based on measurements of TEA
