An Atypical Presentation of Fabry Disease in a Patient With Nephrotic Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder that leads to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) across various tissues, stemming from a deficiency in alpha-galactosidase A (GLA). This condition is characterized by a spectrum of clinical manifestations that can significantly complicate diagnosis. Classical symptoms typically include neuropathic pain, angiokeratomas, and significant involvement of the renal and cardiac systems. However, atypical presentations may obscure the underlying diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a high level of clinical suspicion. This case report details the diagnostic journey of a 24-year-old female who initially presented with nephrotic syndrome, a presentation not commonly associated with Fabry disease. Subsequent genetic testing revealed a pathogenic variant in the GLA gene, confirming Fabry disease and highlighting the critical need for genetic analysis in cases of unexplained renal pathology. This case underscores the variability of Fabry disease presentations and the pivotal role of comprehensive diagnostic strategies in uncovering this complex disorder.
