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

Joubert syndrome (JS) is an inherited ciliopathy characterized by a distinctive cerebellar and brain stem malformation which is known as the "molar tooth sign" on axial brain images, hypotonia, and developmental delay. Approximately 25-30% of patients with JS have kidney disease and many of them progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, there are few reports on the outcomes of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients with JS and ESKD. In this study, we clarified the clinical features, treatment, and outcomes of patients with JS who underwent RRT. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records and clinical characteristics of 11 patients with JS who underwent RRT between June 1994 and July 2019. Data are shown as the median (range). Gene analysis was performed in 8 of the 11 cases, and CEP290 mutations were found in four patients, two had TMEM67 mutations, one had a RPGRIP1L mutation, and one patient showed no mutation with the panel exome analysis. Complications in other organs included hydrocephalus in two cases, retinal degeneration in eight cases, coloboma in one case, liver diseases in four cases, and polydactyly in one case. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) was introduced in seven cases, with a median treatment duration of 5.4 (3.4-10.7) years. Hemodialysis was performed using arteriovenous fistula in two cases, and kidney transplantation was performed 9 times in eight cases. Only one of the grafts failed during the observation period of 25.6 (8.2-134.2) months. The glomerular filtration rate at the final observation was 78.1 (41.4-107.7) mL/min/1.73 m
