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

We describe an 8-year-old boy who presented with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) associated with X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). At birth, the patient exhibited scaly skin, cryptorchidism, and steroid sulfatase (STS) deficiency. DNA analysis showed deletion of exons 1-10 of the STS gene. Proteinuria developed at 6 years and was resistant to steroid therapy. Kidney biopsy findings prior to steroid therapy were compatible with minimal change nephrotic syndrome. By immunofluorescence, glomerular basement membranes exhibited diffuse linear staining for the alpha5 chain of collagen IV, making X-linked Alport syndrome an unlikely explanation for the association of SRNS and ichthyosis. Despite immunosuppressive therapy together with oral prednisolone, no clinical response was achieved. He rapidly reached end-stage renal failure and finally underwent renal transplantation. We propose that SRNS should be considered as one of the highly variable phenotypes associated with XLI.
