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

backgroundNephrotic syndrome can be caused by a subgroup of mitochondrial diseases classified as primary coenzyme Q CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: We report three pediatric patients with COQ2 variants presenting with nephrotic syndrome. Two of these patients had normal leukocyte CoQ

conclusionsCOQ2 nephropathy should be suspected in patients presenting with nephrotic syndrome, although less common than disease due to mutations in NPHS1, NPHS2, and WT1. The index of suspicion should remain high, and we suggest that providers consider genetic evaluation even in patients with normal leukocyte CoQ
