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

Functional validation of candidate genes in congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) and other disorders is essential for translating genetic discoveries into clinical applications. Conditional knockout mouse models are indispensable for studying gene function in complex organ systems. The Short Conditional intrON (SCON) system accelerates the generation of such models by inserting the artificial SCON into a coding exon. SCON is designed to be spliced out after transcription, without affecting gene expression. Upon Cre activity, SCON is converted into the ΔSCON allele which cannot be spliced out, introducing premature termination codons (PTCs) to inactivate the gene. Previous validation of the SCON system in mice has focused primarily on phenotypic outcomes. Here, we provide a molecular characterization of the SCON system in Cdh12-a candidate gene implicated in kidney damage in CAKUT. We found that both Cdh12
