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 (PH) is a rare inborn disorder of the metabolism of glyoxylate, which causes the hallmark production oxalate and forms insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that accumulate in the kidney and other organs. Since the manifestation of PH varies from recurrent nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and end-stage renal disease with age at onset of symptoms ranging from infancy to the sixth decade, the disease remains undiagnosed until after kidney transplantation in some cases. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report 3 cases of PH diagnosed after kidney transplantation failure, providing the comprehensive clinical course, the ultrasonic image of renal graft and pathologic image of the biopsy, highlighting the relevance of biopsy findings and the results of molecular genetic testing. We also focus on the treatment and the unfavorable outcome of the patients. Meanwhile, we review the literature and show the additional 10 reported cases of PH diagnosed after kidney transplantation. Additionally, we discuss the progressive molecular understanding of the mechanisms involved in PH and molecular therapy.

conclusionsOverall, the necessity of preoperative screening of PH in all patients even with a minor history of nephrolithiasis and the importance of proper treatment are the lessons we learn from the 3 cases, which prompt us to avoid tragedies.
