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

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder which can have manifestations in the kidneys, along with other organ systems. Children with TSC may develop kidney lesions at any point during childhood, and typically these are angiomyolipomata (AML) and/or kidney cysts. Children may also have hypertension associated with TSC-associated kidney disease, and rarely reduced kidney function. New guidelines for the management of TSC-associated kidney disease in children and adults were published in 2024. This educational review summarises the relevant clinical aspects of these guidelines for paediatric nephrologists through a series of four clinical cases. These cases cover management of hypertension, frequency of follow-up and frequency of kidney imaging. Difficult clinical scenarios are reviewed, such as the management of TSC2-PKD1 contiguous gene syndrome and the management of large AMLs in children with TSC.
