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

Introduction: Alport syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in the kidneys, ears, and eyes. Its clinical presentation typically manifests in childhood or adolescence and varies widely among affected individuals, ranging from isolated hematuria to end-stage renal disease. The genetic causes of AS primarily involve mutations in the genes encoding type IV collagen Case Presentation: Here we report a Moroccan consanguineous family with an 18-year-old girl who presented with advanced renal failure and microscopic hematuria. Her audiometry revealed hearing impairment. Urinalysis performed in all the asymptomatic family members showed microscopic hematuria in the mother and younger sister, while computed tomography excluded a urologic cause. Using next-generation sequencing analysis, we identified in the proband a nonsense homozygous variant in the Conclusion: We report a novel nonsense pathogenic variant in
