gdf11 is required for pronephros/cloaca development through targeting TGF-β signaling.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The kidney is a vital organ responsible for removing toxins, producing urine, and regulating homeostasis. Developmental defects in the kidney lead to various congenital abnormalities that impair renal function. Gdf11, a member of the transforming growth factor β family, is associated with numerous renal abnormalities. In the early developmental stage, the pronephric duct and hindgut open into the cloaca, and Gdf11 shows significant expression in the hindgut of mice. However, the molecular and cellular roles of gdf11 in kidney and cloaca organogenesis remain unclear. Our study revealed that pronephros and cloaca formation were significantly disrupted upon gdf11 deletion or knockdown in zebrafish. Additionally, we found that the TGF-β pathway acts downstream of Gdf11 in promoting pronephros and cloaca development. Treatment with a TGF-β small molecule activator partially rescued the pronephros and cloaca developmental defects observed in gdf11
