Deficiency of exocyst complex component Exoc5 exacerbates the progression of kidney fibrosis.
Article in Experimental & molecular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fibrosis, an undesirable side effect of the repair process, is due to aberrant cell differentiation and is a typical cause of progressive diseases including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Exocyst complex component 5 (Exoc5), a central component of the highly-conserved eight-protein exocyst complex, is involved in cell differentiation and maturation; however, the role of Exoc5 in fibrosis remains to be defined. Here we investigate the role and underlying molecular mechanisms of Exoc5 on kidney development and fibrosis using kidney proximal tubule cell-specific Exoc5-knockout (PT-Exoc5
