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

Nephrotic syndrome is one of the most prevalent pediatric kidney illnesses seen in pediatric nephrology clinics. Steroid resistance in children with nephrotic syndrome is a primary cause of renal failure and is characterized by nephrotic range proteinuria that does not respond to conventional steroid therapy. The current work was intended to investigate the possible role of the Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (rs7922612) and collagen4 alpha 3 (rs375290088) single nucleotide polymorphisms as risk factors for developing nephrotic syndrome among Egyptian children. The study was conducted on 100 children with nephrotic syndrome and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals. Geno typing was performed by two methods of polymerase chain reaction for the analysis of PLCE1 (rs7922612) and COL4A3 (rs375290088) variants. We observed a higher percentage of the heterozygous and homozygous variant genotypes of PLCE1 (rs7922612) SNP in NS patients in comparison with the controls (P < 0.001 for both). The frequencies of the PLCE1 (rs7922612) variant showed a statistically significant elevated risk of NS using several genetic models, including the dominant (OR = 9.12), recessive (OR = 2.31), and allelic (OR = 1.62) models (P < 0.001 for each). In addition, the PLCE1 (rs7922612) genotypes and alleles frequencies did not differ significantly between SRNS compared to SSNS cases. Furthermore, there was no significant difference regarding COL4A3 (rs375290088) polymorphism, neither between the NS and control groups nor between SDNS and SRNS. PLCE1 (rs7922612) is considered an independent risk factor for nephrotic syndrome in Egyptian pediatrics.COL4A3 (rs375290088) polymorphism is not correlated to Egyptian NS patients.
