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

A major regulator of blood pressure and volume homeostasis in the kidney is the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). ENaC is composed of alpha(α)/beta(β)/gamma(γ) or delta(δ)/beta(β)/gamma(γ) subunits. The δ subunit is functional in the guinea pig, but not in routinely used experimental rodent models including rat or mouse, and thus remains the least understood of the four subunits. While the δ subunit is poorly expressed in the human kidney, we recently found that its gene variants are associated with blood pressure and kidney function. The δ subunit is expressed in the human vasculature where it may influence vascular function. Moreover, we recently found that the δ subunit is also expressed human antigen presenting cells (APCs). Our studies indicate that extracellular Na
