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

Pediatric nephrolithiasis (NL) or Kidney stone disease (KSD) is an untethered topic in Asian population. In Western countries, the annual incidence of paediatric NL is around 6-10%. Here, we present data from West Bengal, India, on lower age (LA, 0-20 years) NL and its prevalence for the first time. To discover the mutations associated with KSD, twenty-four (18 + 6) rare LA-NL patients were selected for Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing, respectively. It was found that GRHPR c. 494G>A mutation (MZ826703) is predominant in our study cohort. This specific homozygous mutation is functionally studied for the first time directly from human peripheral mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples. Using expression study with biochemical activity and computational analysis we assumed that the mutation is pathogenic with loss of function. Moreover, three genes, AGXT, HOGA1 and GRHPR with Novel variants known to cause hyperoxaluria were found frequently in the study cohort. Our study analyses the genes and variations that cause LA-NL, as well as the molecular function of the GRHPR mutation, which may serve as a clinical marker in the population of West Bengal, Eastern India.
