Genotype-phenotype correlations in children with Gitelman syndrome.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to analyze genotype-phenotype correlations in children with Gitelman syndrome (GS).
methodsThis multicenter retrospective study included 50 Korean children diagnosed with SLC12A3 variants in one or both alleles and the typical laboratory findings of GS. Genetic testing was performed using the Sanger sequencing except for one patient.
resultsThe median age at the diagnosis was 10.5 years (interquartile range, 6.8;14.1), and 41 patients were followed up for a median duration of 5.4 years (interquartile range, 4.1;9.6). A total of 30 different SLC12A3 variants were identified. Of the patients, 34 (68%) had biallelic variants, and 16 (32%) had monoallelic variants on examination. Among the patients with biallelic variants, those (n = 12) with the truncating variants in one or both alleles had lower serum chloride levels (92.2 ± 3.2 vs. 96.5 ± 3.8 mMol/L, P = 0.002) at onset, as well as lower serum potassium levels (3.0 ± 0.4 vs. 3.4 ± 0.3 mMol/L, P = 0.016), and lower serum chloride levels (96.1 ± 1.9 vs. 98.3 ± 3.0 mMol/L, P = 0.049) during follow-up than those without truncating variants (n = 22). Patients with monoallelic variants on examination showed similar phenotypes and treatment responsiveness to those with biallelic variants.
conclusionsPatients with GS who had truncating variants in one or both alleles had more severe electrolyte abnormalities than those without truncating variants. Patients with GS who had monoallelic SLC12A3 variants on examination had almost the same phenotypes, response to treatment, and long-term prognosis as those with biallelic variants.
