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

backgroundBi-allelic loss of function variations in genes encoding proteins of the renin-angiotensin system (AGT, ACE, REN, AGTR1) are associated with autosomal recessive renal tubular dysgenesis, a severe disease characterized by the absence of differentiated proximal tubules leading to fetal anuria and neonatal end-stage renal disease. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: We identified bi-allelic loss of function mutations in ACE, the gene encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme, in 3 unrelated cases displaying progressive chronic renal failure, whose DNAs had been sent for suspicion of juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy, nephronophthisis, and cystic renal disease, respectively. In all cases, patients were affected with anemia whose severity was unexpected regarding the level of renal failure and with important polyuro-polydipsia.

conclusionsBi-allelic loss of function mutation of ACE can have atypical and sometimes late presentation with chronic renal failure, anemia (out of proportion with the level of renal failure), and polyuro-polydipsia. These data illustrate the usefulness of next generation sequencing and "agnostic" approaches to elucidate cases with chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology and to broaden the spectrum of phenotypes of monogenic renal diseases. It also raises the question of genetic modifiers involved in the variation of the phenotypes associated with these mutations.
