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

Rapid technological advances in genomic testing continue to increase our understanding of the genetic basis of a wide range of kidney disorders. Establishing a molecular diagnosis benefits the individual by bringing an end to what is often a protracted diagnostic odyssey, facilitates accurate reproductive counselling for families and, in the future, is likely to lead to the delivery of more targeted management and surveillance regimens. The selection of the most appropriate testing modality requires an understanding both of the technologies available and of the genetic architecture and heterogeneity of kidney disease. Whilst we are witnessing a far greater diagnostic yield with broader genetic testing, such approaches invariably generate variants of uncertain significance and secondary incidental findings, which are not only difficult to interpret but present ethical challenges with reporting and feeding back to patients and their families. Here, we review the spectrum of nephrogenetic disorders, consider the optimal approach to genetic testing, explore the clinical utility of obtaining a molecular diagnosis, reflect on the challenges of variant interpretation and look to the future of this dynamic field.
