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

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) are significant causes of morbidity and mortality in children and young adults. ADPKD, with an incidence of 1:400 to 1:1,000, affects more than 13 million individuals worldwide and is a major cause of end-stage renal disease in adults. However, symptomatic disease is increasingly recognized in children. ARPKD is a dual-organ hepatorenal disease with an incidence of 1:20,000 to 1:40,000 and a heterozygote carrier rate of 1 in 70. Currently, no clinically significant disease-specific therapy exists for ADPKD or ARPKD. The genetic basis of both ADPKD and ARPKD have been identified, and delineation of the basic molecular and cellular pathophysiology has led to the discovery that abnormal ADPKD and ARPKD gene products interact to create "polycystin complexes" located at multiple sites within affected cells. The extracellular matrix and vessels produce a variety of soluble factors that affect the biology of adjacent cells in many dynamic ways. This review will focus on the molecular and cellular bases of the abnormal cystic phenotype and discuss the clinical translation of such basic data into new therapies that promise to alter the natural history of disease for children with genetic PKDs.
