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

Intercalated cells (ICs) are acid-base regulatory cells in the kidney collecting duct that excrete either acid or base into the urine in response to systemic cues. A-ICs deliver protons into the tubule lumen via an apical proton pump (V-ATPase) and reabsorb base (bicarbonate) using the anion exchanger 1 (AE1) anion exchanger. B-ICs function in the opposite direction. They have basolateral V-ATPase and secrete bicarbonate into the lumen via the anion exchange protein pendrin. The function of a third IC subtype: the non-A, non-B IC, which has apical pendrin and apical V-ATPase, is less well understood. We previously reported that members of the TLDc protein family interact with the V-ATPase and may regulate its function. TLDc proteins exhibit a distinct expression pattern in the kidney with RNAseq showing high, differential expression of Tldc2 in B-ICs. Here, we show by RNAscope imaging that Tldc2 is indeed expressed in B-ICs but also in some non-A, non-B ICs. Using
