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

Tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen (TIN-ag), which has been localized to the renal tubular basement membrane, is a target antigen in some forms of TIN. Physiologically, TIN-ag is thought to be important in maintaining the structure of renal tubular basement membrane. Here we describe a child with chronic renal failure showing a human TIN-ag gene (hTIN-ag) deletion. Immunohistochemical examination using an antihuman TIN-ag monoclonal antibody showed attenuation or lack of TIN-ag staining along the renal tubular basement membrane, whereas nephrocystin staining was normal in renal tubules. Polymerase chain reaction detected no amplification band corresponding to hTIN-ag in this patient. Testing for a deletion in this gene showed nearly complete deletion. By using array-comparative genomic hybridization method, large deletion of a gene mapped on chromosome 6p11-6p12 was demonstrated, corresponding to the locus where hTIN-ag is located. Therefore, an hTIN-ag defect may be a potent cause of end-stage renal failure in childhood.
