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

Alagille syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable multisystem organ involvement that is caused by mutations in one of two genes in the Notch signalling pathway, JAG1 or NOTCH2. Alagille syndrome is characterized by bile duct paucity, along with at least three of the following features: cholestasis, cardiac defects, skeletal abnormalities, ocular abnormalities and characteristic facies. However, the clinical features of Alagille syndrome are highly variable, and children or adults may also present with predominantly renal findings and little or no hepatic involvement. Renal involvement occurs in 40% of JAG1-mutation-positive individuals. Renal insufficiency is common and has been specifically reported in children with Alagille syndrome who have end-stage liver disease. The role of NOTCH2 and JAG1 in formation of proximal nephron structures and podocytes might explain the observed phenotypes of renal dysplasia and proteinuria in patients with Alagille syndrome, and renal tubular acidosis may be the result of JAG1 expression in the collecting ducts. Renal vascular hypertension in patients with Alagille syndrome is explained by the widespread vasculopathy and the role of Notch signalling in vascular development. Increased awareness of Alagille syndrome amongst nephrologists may lead to more diagnoses of Alagille syndrome in patients with apparently isolated renal disease.
