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

backgroundHereditary hypomagnesemia is difficult to diagnose accurately because of its rarity and the variety of causative genes. We established a flowchart for identifying responsible genes for hypomagnesemia, and we confirmed its diagnostic efficacy in patients with suspected inherited hypomagnesemia.

methodsWe established a flowchart and applied it to five index cases with suspected inherited hypomagnesemia. Direct sequence analysis was used to detect the causative gene variants in four cases, and targeted sequencing analysis using next-generation sequencing (NGS) of all causative genes for hypomagnesemia was used in one.

resultsExpected pathogenic variants were detected in the HNF1B, TRPM6, CLDN16, CASR, or SLC12A3 gene in all five cases. The results of all genetic analyses were consistent with the clinical diagnostic results using the flowchart.

conclusionsAccurate genetic diagnosis is crucial for estimating the prognosis, detecting complications in organs other than the kidneys, and for directing genetic counseling. The developed flowchart for identifying responsible genes for hypomagnesemia was useful for diagnosing inherited hypomagnesemia. In addition, NGS analysis will help to resolve clinical difficulties in making an accurate diagnosis and thus improve the diagnostic strategy for inherited hypomagnesemia.
