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

purposeWe sought to predict renal growth based on clinical and metabolic parameters in patients with isolated methylmalonic acidemia, a group of disorders associated with chronic kidney disease.

methodsFifty patients with methylmalonic acidemia, followed from 2004 to 2011, were classified by molecular genetics and studied using a combined cross-sectional and longitudinal design that included renal ultrasound examinations, anthropometric measurements, and metabolic phenotyping. Renal length was compared with that of healthy controls and modeled to other clinical parameters using multiple-regression analyses.

resultsComparisons with age-matched controls showed that renal length in subjects with methylmalonic acidemia was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Stepwise regression modeling found that combinations of height, serum cystatin C, and serum methymalonic acid concentrations best predicted kidney size. The regression equations used to generate methylmalonic acidemia kidney nomograms were renal length (cm) = 6.79 + 0.22 × age for the controls and 6.80 + 0.09 × age for the methylmalonic acidemia cohort (P < 0.001; constant and slope).

conclusionRenal length, reflective of kidney growth, significantly decreased in patients with methylmalonic acidemia over time as compared with controls and was predictable with select clinical parameters. Cystatin C and serum methylmalonic acid concentrations were highly correlated with smaller kidneys and decreased renal function in this patient population.
