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

aimsNephronophthisis (NPHP) is an autosomal recessive cystic disease of the kidney with main characteristic features of polyuria/polydipsia, mild or absent proteinuria, interstitial fibrosis, and tubular cysts. NPHP is responsible for 5-10 % of inheritable end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cases. We investigated the clinical features and genetic cause of NPHP in a Persian family with three siblings affected by tubulointerstitial nephropathy reaching ESRD in adulthood.

methodsUromodulin (UMOD), known to be involved in adult medullary cystic kidney disease, and nephronophthisis 1 (NPHP1) were investigated in the genomic DNA of the probands using DNA sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis and molecular karyotyping.

resultsNo mutation was detected in UMOD. Copy number variation analysis of the NPHP1 gene using the commercially available MLPA kit identified a recurrent large homozygous deletion encompassing all NPHP1 exons. The parents were heterozygous for this deletion. Whole genome array-CGH analysis confirmed a homozygous deletion on chromosome 2q13, NPHP1 site, and revealed that the size of the copy number loss was approximately 102 Kbp.

conclusionThis is the first report of determination of an NPHP1 deletion size using routine diagnostic methods. The results of this study expand the knowledge about the genotype-phenotype correlations in NPHP1, and have implications for genetic counseling and family planning advice for other affected families. This is the first molecular analysis of NPHP1 in an Iranian kindred.
