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

The enabled homolog gene (ENAH, hMena) is abundantly expressed in mesangial tissue, and might play an important role in inflammatory processes of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The present study was conducted to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ENAH and childhood IgAN. We analyzed 12 SNPs of ENAH in 176 patients with childhood IgAN and 397 healthy controls. In addition, IgAN patients were dichotomized and compared with respect to several clinical and pathological parameters. Genotyping data showed significant differences between IgAN patients and controls in the frequency of rs2039620, rs12034829, and rs3795443. On comparison of patients with proteinuria to those without proteinuria (< or = or >4 mg/m(2)/h), rs12043633 was significantly different between the two groups. With regard to maximum proteinuria (< or = or >4 mg/m(2)/h), rs3795443, rs4653643, rs6751, rs10799319, rs7555139, rs576861, and rs487591 showed significant allele frequency differences. For patients with and without gross hematuria, rs4653643, rs6751, rs10799319, rs7555139, rs576861, and rs487591 showed significant allele frequency differences. The rs3795443 was found to be associated with progression of pathological findings. Our results suggest that ENAH polymorphisms are associated with increased susceptibility, development of proteinuria and gross hematuria, and pathological progression of childhood IgAN.
