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

aimMembers of the claudin protein family are the major constituents of tight junction strands and determine the permeability properties of the paracellular pathway. In the kidney, each nephron segment expresses a distinct subset of claudins that form either barriers against paracellular solute transport or charge- and size-selective paracellular channels. It was the aim of the present study to determine and compare the permeation properties of these renal paracellular ion channel-forming claudins.

methodsMDCK II cells, in which the five major claudins had been knocked out (claudin quintupleKO), were stably transfected with individual mouse Cldn2, -4, -8, -10a, -10b, or -15, or with dog Cldn16 or -19, or with a combination of mouse Cldn4 and Cldn8, or dog Cldn16 and Cldn19. Permeation properties were investigated in the Ussing chamber and claudin interactions by FRET assays.

resultsClaudin-4 and -19 formed barriers against solute permeation. However, at low pH values and in the absence of HCO

conclusionParacellular ion permeabilities along the nephron are strictly determined by claudin expression patterns. Paracellular channel-forming claudins are specific for certain ions and thus lower transepithelial resistance, yet form barriers against the transport of other solutes.
