Phospholipid scramblase 1: an essential component of the nephrocyte slit diaphragm.

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
Blood ultrafiltration in nephrons critically depends on specialized intercellular junctions between podocytes, named slit diaphragms (SDs). Here, by studying a homologous structure found in Drosophila nephrocytes, we identify the phospholipid scramblase Scramb1 as an essential component of the SD, uncovering a novel link between membrane dynamics and SD formation. In scramb1 mutants, SDs fail to form. Instead, the SD components Sticks and stones/nephrin, Polychaetoid/ZO-1, and the Src-kinase Src64B/Fyn associate in cortical foci lacking the key SD protein Dumbfounded/NEPH1. Scramb1 interaction with Polychaetoid/ZO-1 and Flotillin2, the presence of essential putative palmitoylation sites and its capacity to oligomerize, suggest a function in promoting SD assembly within lipid raft microdomains. Furthermore, Scramb1 interactors as well as its functional sensitivity to temperature, suggest an active involvement in membrane remodeling processes during SD assembly. Remarkably, putative Ca
