Growth factors and kidney development.
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 1993. 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
The formation of the metanephric kidney is dependent upon the timed and sequential expression of a number of polypeptide growth factors. To shed light on the participation of members of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and epidermal growth factor/transforming growth factor-alpha (EGF/TF-alpha) families, we measured the synthesis of IGF-I, IGF-II, EGF and TGF-alpha by developing rat metanephroi in organ culture and determined the effect of anti-growth factor antibodies on growth and development. IGF-I, IGF-II and TGF-alpha were produced by metanephroi and released into culture media. We could detect no EGF. Inclusion of anti-IGF-I, anti-IGF-II, anti-IGF-II receptor or anti-TGF-alpha antibodies in organ cultures inhibited growth and development of metanephroi. Our findings suggest that both members of the IGF family and TGF-alpha are produced within the developing metanephros and promote renal organogenesis.
