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

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant condition characterised by the presence of multiple hamartomas in various organ systems in the body. The kidneys are affected in 80% of patients, usually in the form of renal angiomyolipomas, renal cysts or renal cell carcinoma. Although extremely rare, TSC and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can co-exist in the same patient as a result of concurrent deletion of both polycystic kidney disease (PKD) 1 and TSC2 genes present on the chromosome 16p13.3. These patients develop end-stage renal disease at an earlier age and have an increased risk of malignancy. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with a history of tuberous sclerosis, presenting with loin pain and subsequently diagnosed to have ADPKD.
