Dysregulation of GDNF and GFRα1 expression in multifactorial Hirschsprung disease.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveHSCR is caused by disruption of complex signaling pathways within the gene regulatory network (GRN) during enteric nervous system (ENS) development, including glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and GDNF family receptor alpha-1 (GFRα1). However, pathogenic variants in all GRN genes account for only ~ 80% cases; therefore, the epigenetic role remains to be elucidated. We compared GDNF and GFRα1 expression between HSCR patients and controls.
resultsqPCR revealed an upregulated GDNF expression in both ganglionic (206.37-fold) and aganglionic (126.35-fold) HSCR compared to control colons (ΔC
