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

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease and one of the most common causes of end-stage kidney disease. The occurrence of bilateral polycystic kidney disease with liver cysts is uncommon. A case of bilateral polycystic kidney disease, found to have liver cysts and inferior vena cava thrombosis in a cadaveric study, is presented in this study. Dissection was performed on a 90-year-old Caucasian male cadaver. Both kidneys were enlarged and contained multiple cysts with normal renal tissue interposed. When comparing the two kidneys, the cysts on the left were notably larger. There was a partial absence of renal capsules. Additionally, a polycystic liver and an inferior vena cava filter were found during the dissection. The patient's history of venous thrombosis is indicated by the previously inserted inferior vena cava filter.
