Alport Syndrome May contribute to Grand Multiparity in a Typical Low Income Setting.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Alport syndrome (AS) is a rare, inherited disorder affecting the basement membranes of the glomerulus, cochlea, and lens. It presents with visual and hearing deficits, as well as kidney disease, which can progress to end-stage renal failure and death. A 26-year-old male presented with a three-week history of body swelling, foamy urine, worsening hematuria, and hearing and visual impairments of 17- and 10-years' duration, respectively. Three of his siblings (two males and one female) had similar symptoms. Molecular genetic screening, involving children from the two wives, identified a pathogenic mutation in the COL4A5 gene, confirming X-linked AS in the patient and his three maternal siblings. The patient underwent maintenance hemodialysis (HD), followed by two failed living-related kidney transplants, and died in his sleep a year after the second transplant, hours after a routine dialysis session. Multiple deaths from AS within a family can contribute to grand multiparity, particularly in low-income settings.
