Differential diagnosis of perinatal Bartter, Bartter and Gitelman syndromes.
Review in Clinical kidney journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
The common finding of hypokalemic alkalosis in several unrelated disorders may confound the early diagnosis of salt-losing tubulopathy (SLT). Antenatal Bartter syndrome (BS) must be considered in idiopathic early-onset polyhydramnios. Fetal megabladder in BS may allow its distinction from third-trimester polyhydramnios that occurs in congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD). Fetal megacolon occurs in CCD while fecal chloride >90 mEq/L in infants is diagnostic. Failure-to-thrive, polydipsia and polyuria in early childhood are the hallmarks of classic BS. Unlike BS, there is low urinary chloride in hypokalemic alkalosis of intractable emesis and cystic fibrosis. Rarely, renal salt wasting may result from cystinosis, Dent disease, disorders of paracellular claudin-10b and Kir4.1 potassium-channel deficiency. Acquired BS may result from calcimimetic up-regulation of a calcium-sensing receptor or autoantibody inactivation of sodium chloride co-transporters in Sjögren syndrome. A relatively common event of heterozygous gene mutations for Gitelman syndrome increases the likelihood of its random occurrence in certain diseases of adult onset. Finally, diuretic abuse is the most common differential diagnosis of SLT. Unlike the persistent elevation in BS, urinary chloride concentration losses waxes and wanes on day-to-day assessment in patients with diuretic misuse.
