The Tumor-Associated Calcium Signal Transducer 2 (TACSTD2) oncogene is upregulated in pre-cystic epithelial cells revealing a new target for polycystic kidney disease.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an important cause of end stage renal disease, but treatment options are limited. While later stages of the disease have been extensively studied, mechanisms driving the initial conversion of renal tubules into cysts are not understood. To identify factors that promote the initiation of cysts we deleted polycystin-2 ( One Sentence Summary: The oncogene, tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (Tacstd2) mRNA increased in abundance shortly after Pkd2 loss and may be a driver of cyst initiation in polycystic kidney disease.
