Early Evidence on Genetic Polymorphisms in Conferring A "Two-Hit" Propensity to Renal Injury in Asian Indian Children.
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. 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
Background: Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are a common cause of end-stage renal disease in children. While certain nephrogenic genes have been incriminated in these malformations, data to identify the frequency of gene polymorphisms in Asian Indian children with CAKUT are scarce. This study was done to identify the effect of polymorphisms in paired-box gene 2 (PAX2), bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-4, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and angiotensin II receptor Type 2 (AGTR2) nephrogenic genes on the development of CAKUT. Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 158 children <12 years old (86 cases with CAKUT and 72 age-matched controls) were analyzed. DNA from both sets was extracted from peripheral blood using the Keygen DNA extraction kit, and single-nucleotide gene polymorphisms (SNPs) in PAX2, BMP-4, ACE, and AGTR2 nephrogenic genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using previously published primers and PCR conditions. Results: The presence of A allele SNP for AGTR2 gene at rs3736556 was found to be significantly correlated with the development of ureteropelvic junction obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) with the TT allelic genotype having a lower incidence of pelviureteric junction obstruction (odds ratio [OR] 0.18 [95% confidence interval [CI], 0.06-0.55], Conclusion: This study points to early evidence in the implication of nephrogenic genes in development as well as predisposition to renal injury in Asian Indian patients with CAKUT.
