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

Nephronophthisis, an autosomal-recessive cystic kidney disease, is the most frequent monogenic cause for renal failure in childhood. Infantile and juvenile forms of nephronophthisis are known to originate from separate gene loci. We describe here a new disease form, adolescent nephronophthisis, that is clearly distinct by clinical and genetic findings. In a large, 340-member consanguineous Venezuelan kindred, clinical symptoms and renal pathology were evaluated. Onset of terminal renal failure was compared with that in a historical sample of juvenile nephronophthisis. Onset of terminal renal failure in adolescent nephronophthisis occurred significantly later (median age 19 years, quartile borders 16.0 and 25.0 years) than in juvenile nephronophthisis (median age 13.1 years, quartile borders 11.3 and 17.3 years; Wilcoxon test P=.0069). A total-genome scan of linkage analysis was conducted and evaluated by LOD score and total-genome haplotype analyses. A gene locus for adolescent nephronophthisis was localized to a region of homozygosity by descent, on chromosome 3q22, within a critical genetic interval of 2. 4 cM between flanking markers D3S1292 and D3S1238. The maximum LOD score for D3S1273 was 5.90 (maximum recombination fraction.035). This locus is different than that identified for juvenile nephronophthisis. These findings will have implications for diagnosis and genetic counseling in hereditary chronic renal failure and provide the basis for identification of the responsible gene.
