Overlap of vitamin A and vitamin D target genes with CAKUT-related processes.
Article in F1000Research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Congenital Anomalies of the Kidney and Urinary Tract (CAKUT) are a group of abnormalities affecting the kidneys and their outflow tracts. CAKUT patients display a large clinical variability as well as a complex aetiology. Only 5% to 20% of the cases have a monogenic origin. It is thereby suspected that interactions of both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease. Vitamins are among the environmental factors that are considered for CAKUT aetiology. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether vitamin A or vitamin D could have a role in CAKUT aetiology. For this purpose we collected vitamin A and vitamin D target genes and computed their overlap with CAKUT-related gene sets. We observed limited overlap between vitamin D targets and CAKUT-related gene sets. We however observed that vitamin A target genes significantly overlap with multiple CAKUT-related gene sets, including CAKUT causal and differentially expressed genes, and genes involved in renal system development. Overall, these results indicate that an excess or deficiency of vitamin A might be relevant to a broad range of urogenital abnormalities.
