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

The overall diagnostic yield of massively parallel sequencing-based tests in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is 30% for paediatric cases and 6-30% for adult cases. These figures should encourage nephrologists to frequently use genetic testing as a diagnostic means for their patients. However, in reality, several barriers appear to hinder the implementation of massively parallel sequencing-based diagnostics in routine clinical practice. In this article we aim to support the nephrologist to overcome these barriers. After a detailed discussion of the general items that are important to genetic testing in nephrology, namely genetic testing modalities and their indications, clinical information needed for high-quality interpretation of genetic tests, the clinical benefit of genetic testing and genetic counselling, we describe each of these items more specifically for the different groups of genetic kidney diseases and for CKD of unknown origin.
