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

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most common glomerular disease, and it often manifests as persistent microscopic hematuria or gross hematuria. Fabry disease and Alport syndrome are hereditary diseases caused by mutation of genes, and these diseases are rare in China. At present, patients can be diagnosed with IgA nephropathy by clinical manifestations and laboratory examinations, but there is still controversy about the simultaneous diagnosis of Alport syndrome and Fabry disease in patients with IgA nephropathy. The present case was a 17-year-old girl with hematuria and proteinuria who underwent a renal biopsy. Light microscopy and immunofluorescence showed that IgA was deposited in the mesangium. Under electron microscopy, zebra bodies with a lamellated structure were detected. A gene test showed a COL4A3 gene mutation. The patient was administered prednisone 40 mg once a day and dispersible tablets of mycophenolate mofetil 0.75 g two times a day. The patient's condition showed a trend of remission. The findings in our case emphasize the importance of renal biopsy and gene detection in hereditary kidney disease, especially for Fabry disease and its rare coexistence with Alport syndrome.
