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

backgroundPrimary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), is a rare and heterogeneous disease and one of major causes of renal insufficiency in Tunisia, caused by mutations in the AGXT gene. 33-34InsC mutation, was mainly described in children with a severe clinical feature leading to early death, but it was uncommonly reported in adult patients.

methodsCommon mutations in AGXT were tested using PCR/RFLP technique in 111 patients (68 adult, 43 children) with suspected PH1.

resultsWe described 16 cases (eight adult and eight children) with a 33-34InsC mutation with a median age of 24 years [6 months - 73 years]. All children were in end stage renal disease (ESRD) at the median age of 3 years due to lithiasis and/or nephrocalcinosis. Unfortunately, 75% of them died with a median age of 2.5 years. For the majority of adults only spontaneous elimination of urolithiasis were noted, 37.5% preserved until now a normal renal function and 62.5% of them reached ESRD at the median age of 55.8 ± 12.31 years old.

conclusionIn this study 33-34InsC mutation gives a controversial clinical effect in children and adults. The implication of other genetic and/or environmental factors can play a crucial role in determining the ultimate phenotype.
