Genetic studies of nephrotic syndrome in Egyptian children.
Article in Journal of applied biomedicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionNephrotic syndrome (NS) might be caused by a kidney disorder or it can be a secondary disease. Untreated or resistant to treatment, NS stimulates glomerular damage that reduces the kidney function. This reduction leads to the end stage of renal failure. Therefore, it is very important to diagnose NS early, with the aim of inhibiting or lessening its associated morbidity and mortality.
methodsGene polymorphism analysis for the three genes eNOS 27 bp VNTR, GSTP1 and IL-10(1082 G/A) were checked in 98 children with NS and 101 control subjects.
resultseNOS 27 bp VNTR genotypes and alleles are significantly different in the group of 98 children with NS compared to the 101 control subjects. The frequencies of ab and bb genotypes are significantly lower in patients than in the control group (ab: 17.2% vs. 22.8%; OR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.06-0.58; p = 0.0026 & bb: 54.7% vs. 70.3%; OR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.07-0.5; p = 0.0004). However, neither GSTP1 nor IL-10(1082 G/A) genotypes showed any significant difference in both groups.
conclusionseNOS 27 bp VNTR gene might be considered as an independent risk factor in the early prediction of nephrotic syndrome incidence, which may help prevent/reduce the occurrence of other complications associated with the late diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
