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

Introduction: Genetic kidney diseases are underdiagnosed; namely, from 7% to 40% of patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) can carry a pathogenic variant, depending on population characteristics. Hereditary tubulointerstitial kidney diseases, including autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney diseases (ADTKD), are even more challenging to diagnose. ADTKD is a rare form of genetic kidney disease resulting from pathogenic variants in the Aim: The aim of our study is to present two case reports of ADTKD with different characteristics (slowly progressive CKD vs. complex clinical presentation with an extrarenal manifestation of the disease) with a literature review. Methods: A 34-year-old patient with CKD and a positive family history of CKD in whom kidney biopsy showed nonspecific chronic changes, with only genetic analysis confirming the diagnosis of MUC1-related ADTKD. Our second case is of a 17-year-old patient with an unremarkable family history who was initially referred to genetic counseling due to cognitive and motor impairment with long-lasting epilepsy. Extensive workup revealed increased serum creatinine levels with no proteinuria and bland urinary sediment, along with hypomagnesemia. His genetic analysis revealed 17q12 deletion syndrome, causing the loss of one copy of the Conclusion: Autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney diseases are challenging to diagnose due to a lack of typical clinical or histopathological signs as well as an uncharacteristic and versatile clinical presentation. Increased clinical awareness is crucial for the detection of these diseases.
