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

Mammalian nephrons originate from a population of nephron progenitor cells, and changes in these cells' transcriptomes contribute to the cessation of nephrogenesis, an important determinant of nephron number. To characterize microRNA (miRNA) expression and identify putative cis-regulatory regions, we collected nephron progenitor cells from mouse kidneys at embryonic day 14.5 and postnatal day zero and assayed small RNA expression and transposase-accessible chromatin. We detect expression of 1104 miRNA (114 with expression changes), and 46,374 chromatin accessible regions (2103 with changes in accessibility). Genome-wide, our data highlight processes like cellular differentiation, cell migration, extracellular matrix interactions, and developmental signaling pathways. Furthermore, they identify new candidate cis-regulatory elements for Eya1 and Pax8, both genes with a role in nephron progenitor cell differentiation. Finally, we associate expression-changing miRNAs, including let-7-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-181a-2-3p, and miR-9-3p, with candidate cis-regulatory elements and target genes. These analyses highlight new putative cis-regulatory loci for miRNA in nephron progenitors.
