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

Background: The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and connecting tubule (CNT) are critical for fine-tuning electrolyte reabsorption and maintaining renal homeostasis. While the Hippo pathway effector Yap is known to regulate kidney development, its specific role within the distal nephron segments remains unknown. Methods: To investigate Yap function in the distal nephron segments, we generated a Cre-inducible Results: Lineage tracing showed that Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that sustained Yap activation in the distal nephron segments disrupts epithelial identity and structure while also exerting non-cell-autonomous effects on nephron patterning, particularly in the proximal tubule. These results underscore the importance of tightly regulated Hippo-Yap signaling in maintaining epithelial integrity and proper nephron segmentation.
