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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to describe the skeletal manifestations of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), the most common of the primary hyperoxalurias.

methodsWe clinically and radiographically reviewed 12 consecutive patients diagnosed with PH1, aged between 2 and 17 years. All patients had evidence of some type of renal involvement, 4 of whom were at end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and were under dialysis.

resultsThe main symptom was skeletal pain and was present only in the 4 severely involved patients and appeared during the second year of dialysis. The 2 most severely involved patients had evidence of pathological fractures. Radiological signs were present in patients with or without symptoms. These radiological signs were of two distinct types: those almost specific of oxalosis, such as dense and radiolucent metaphyseal bands and vertebral osteocondensations, which are found mainly in the severely involved individuals, and those less specific, such as signs of renal osteodystrophy, which are also found in less severely involved patients. Interestingly, our study revealed the presence of spondylolysis in 25% of cases. This latter finding is unique and has not previously been reported in the literature.

conclusionsThe skeletal manifestations of PH1 include specific and less specific radiological signs, with some patients being asymptomatic, and others presenting with bone pain and pathological fractures, as well as spondylolysis.
