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

backgroundThe autosomal recessive form of pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (AR-PHA1) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the epithelial sodium channel subunit genes and is characterized by a multisystemic and lifelong severe salt-wasting tendency. However, we observed a male AR-PHA1 patient who exhibited less frequent salt wasting with advancing age, despite the cessation of daily salt supplementation.

objectiveTo elucidate the mechanism for the above phenomenon.

methodsWe evaluated the sodium-reabsorption ability of his distal nephrons (from the distal convoluted tubules to the collecting ducts) and compared it to that of a patient with the dominant form of PHA1 (AD-PHA1) carrying a heterozygous NR3C2 (mineralocorticoid receptor) gene mutation. In addition, immunoblotting of the thiazide-sensitive Na(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC) protein was conducted using urine samples from the AR- and AD-PHA1 patients.

resultsThe levels of sodium reabsorption that occurred via the distal nephrons were almost identical in the two PHA1 patients, despite their different molecular pathogeneses. Immunoblotting showed an increased urinary NCC protein level in the AR-PHA1 patient.

conclusionTaken together, increased sodium reabsorption via the upregulation of the expression of NCC might have been responsible, at least in part, for the clinical improvement seen in an AR-PHA1 patient.
