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

backgroundThe pathophysiology of renal damage in Fabry nephropathy involves a complex biological mechanism. The intracellular deposition globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) is just the first step of the mechanism. The glycolipid deposition occurs in all renal cells (endothelial, epithelial and mesangial cells). It stimulates many biological processes, including cytokine release, epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation, oxidative stress and the remodelling of vascular walls, resulting in subtle initial inflammation and eventually tissue fibrosis. It has been hypothesized that the processes activated by Gb3 deposition can subsequently progress independently of cellular deposition and that even Gb3 clearance by specific therapy cannot retard or stop these pathways.

aimThis review aims to gather the reported evidence of these cellular alterations and the resulting histological changes. Our approach is similar to a routine study of kidney biopsy.

resultsIn the first part of the review, "histology" section, we describe the structures involved (glomeruli, vessels, tubules and interstitium) from a histological point of view. While in the second part, "pathogenesis" section, we present some interpretations about the implicated pathways based on the up-to-date available evidence.
