Review in European journal of pediatrics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03326037 (Study of The Association of Mutations in The NPHS2 Gene and Nephrotic Syndrome in Children and Adults in Middle East), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

In the recent past, hereditary podocytopathies have increasingly been recognized to be involved in the development of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). Mutations in podocyte genes substantially alter the development and structural architecture of the podocyte including its interdigitating foot processes. These constitute the basis of the slit diaphragm which is an essential part of the glomerular filtration barrier. Depending on the affected protein, the clinical course is variable with respect to onset and severity of the disease as well as treatment options. In general, hereditary podocytopathies are associated with a poorer renal outcome than the non-genetic variants. In addition, they require a different approach with respect to the applied therapeutic strategies as most patients do not respond to immunosuppressive agents. Therefore, genetic testing of podocyte genes should be considered as a routine diagnostic tool for patients with SRNS because the identification of a genetic origin has a direct implication on clinical course, renal outcome, and genetic counseling. In this educational paper, we will give an overview over the podocyte genes identified so far to be involved into the pathophysiology of hereditary podocytopathies.
