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: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare disorder caused by variants in the GLA gene encoding α-galactosidase A (GALA), leading to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), among other health issues. The 2002 Czech nationwide FD screening in ESKD found undiagnosed cases in dialysis patients by examining GALA activity in dried blood spots (DBS). Methods: The second nationwide FD screening (2016-2018; 21-month study) in ESKD patients on maintenance dialysis therapy (MDT) included 112 Czech dialysis units to assess country-wide FD diagnostic guidelines' efficacy in reducing its underdiagnosis. This involved GALA activity and/or lyso-Gb3 levels with Results: The 6352 screened cases represent 93.9% of all MDT patients within the study duration. Eight Conclusions: This is one of the largest FD screening schemes in a European ESKD cohort. Subsequent
