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

backgroundCongenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a hereditary disease characterized by a reduced response to arginine vasopressin in the renal collecting duct. NDI is primarily caused by mutations in the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2). Several animal models have been developed for congenital NDI; however, the appropriate models are limited. Thus, we constructed a novel Avpr2-deficient rat model using gene-editing technology to study the pathophysiological mechanisms of NDI.

methodsAvpr2-deficient rats were generated via a novel genome editing approach termed the rat Genome-editing via Oviductal Nucleic Acid Delivery (rGONAD) method. The phenotypes were analyzed using biological, molecular, and histological examinations. The effects of hydrochlorothiazide (40 mg/kg/d) on 24-h water intake, urine volume, and urine osmolality were evaluated in a metabolic cage.

resultsAvpr2-deficient rats were born and weaned under normal rearing conditions and exhibited symptoms similar to those of human congenital NDI, such as polydipsia, polyuria, and growth retardation. Although they exhibited hydronephrosis-like kidneys, no glomerular or tubular damage was observed. Aquaporin-2 was retained in the cytoplasm of collecting duct cells, and its phosphorylation was suppressed. Administration of hydrochlorothiazide decreased urine volume and improved urine osmolality in Avpr2-deficient rats.

conclusionsAvpr2-deficient rats are a reliable model of congenital NDI for elucidating the underlying mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets.
