The retinal phenotype in primary hyperoxaluria type 2 and 3.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 primary hyperoxalurias (PH1-3) are rare inherited disorders of the glyoxylate metabolism characterized by endogenous overproduction of oxalate. As oxalate cannot be metabolized by humans, oxalate deposits may affect various organs, primarily the kidneys, bones, heart, and eyes. Vision loss induced by severe retinal deposits is commonly seen in infantile PH1; less frequently and milder retinal alterations are found in non-infantile PH1. Retinal disease has not systematically been investigated in patients with PH2 and PH3.
methodsA comprehensive ophthalmic examination was performed in 19 genetically confirmed PH2 (n = 7) and PH3 (n = 12) patients (median age 11 years, range 3-59).
resultsMedian best corrected visual acuity was 20/20. In 18 patients, no retinal oxalate deposits were found. A 30-year-old male with PH2 on maintenance hemodialysis with plasma oxalate (Pox) elevation (> 100 µmol/l; normal < 7.4) demonstrated bilateral drusen-like, hyperreflective deposits which were interpreted as crystallized oxalate. Two siblings of consanguineous parents with PH2 presented with retinal degeneration and vision loss; exome-wide analysis identified a second monogenic disease, NR2E3-associated retinal dystrophy.
conclusionsRetinal disease manifestation in PH2 and PH3 is rare but mild changes can occur at least in PH2-associated kidney failure. Decline in kidney function associated with elevated plasma oxalate levels could increase the risk of systemic oxalosis. Deep phenotyping combined with genomic profiling is vital to differentiate extrarenal disease in multisystem disorders such as PH from independent inherited (retinal) disease. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
