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

backgroundPatients heterozygous for

methodsWe performed a systematic literature review for patients with heterozygous

resultsIn total, 29% of the patients developed chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 15.1% reached ESRD at a mean age of 52.8 years. Extrarenal features and typical Alport syndrome (AS) findings had a low prevalence in patients as follows: hearing loss, 16%; ocular lesions, 3%; basement membrane thickening, 18.4%; and podocyte foot process effacement, 6.9%. Data for 76 patients from 54 families emphasize extensive inter- and intrafamilial heterogeneity, with age at onset of ESRD ranging between 21 and 84 years (mean 52.8).

conclusionsThe analysis enabled a comparison of the clinical course of patients with typical ARAS or X-linked AS with those with heterozygous
