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

backgroundGitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited renal disorder characterized by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria. Since the symptoms are not severe and laboratory results are not always clear, Gitelman syndrome can go unnoticed by physicians. Here, we report our experiences with a patient that presented with hypokalemia and proteinuria; genetic analysis revealed a new homozygous mutation in the SLC12A3 gene. CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old man presented with hypokalemia and proteinuria. He had come to the hospital with the same symptoms 11 months and 3 years prior. His laboratory tests showed hypokalemia, hypocalciuria, and increased plasma angiotensin-2 activity. His renal pathology was consistent with the development of minimal lesions. Genetic analysis found a new homozygous mutation in exon 6 on the SLC12A3 gene (p.Trp281Arg) in the patient and in his brother; his mother and sister were diagnosed as heterozygous carriers of the same gene mutation. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with Gitelman syndrome.

conclusionsThis case is the first to report a homozygous mutation in the 841th nucleotide of exon 6 on the SLC12A3 gene (p.Trp281Arg), which may cause Gitelman syndrome. At the same time, this report might stimulate interest in discussing the relationship between different mutations in the SLC12A3 gene and renal pathology.
