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

Background: The heterogeneous features of enamel renal syndrome (ERS) make diagnosis and treatment challenging. The main symptoms are disturbed amelogenesis and nephrocalcinosis. Bi-allelic likely pathogenic (LP) or pathogenic (P) variants in Case presentation: We report the management of a case with suspected ERS after initial dental treatment elsewhere with no adjustment for the syndrome. Dental treatment was revised and followed for 8 years. Complementary medical examinations were conducted, and ERS was genetically confirmed, revealing homozygosity for a LP c.755_757del, p.(Phe252del) variant in Conclusion: We herein describe a patient with confirmed ERS with an 8-year follow-up. Diagnostic delay until adulthood led to complicated dental treatment. The results of nephrological investigations are presented. The importance of dental and medical multidisciplinary management in syndromic disorders affecting the formation of the enamel is also exemplified. The dental prognosis after rehabilitation is likely affected by anatomical variations and patient cooperation. The prognosis for renal function seems to be good. However, lifelong surveillance of renal function is recommended. Registration: The ethics committee in Uppsala, Sweden, determined that ethical approval was not necessary in this case (2019-04835). Informed consent was obtained from the participant in writing and is documented in the medical records.
