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

Renal lesions represent the second most significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of TSC have led to the exploration of new potential therapeutic targets. Clinical trials with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors have demonstrated promising results for several indications, such as renal angiomyolipoma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, lymphangioleiomyomatosis and facial angiofibromas. Currently, there is a scarcity of natural history data and randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials on TSC. Recently, however, recommendations for the diagnostic criteria, surveillance, and management of TSC patients have been updated. This review focuses on these novel recommendations and highlights the need for multidisciplinary follow-up of this multi-systemic disease.
