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: Although 10% of adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a monogenic cause, the characteristics of monogenic CKD in older adults (aged ≥ 60 years) are less characterized. We aimed to assess the clinical and genetic spectrum of older adults with CKD and the clinical utility of genetic findings. Methods: The diagnostic yield of clinically validated disease-causing variants and their type ("typical" vs. "later-onset" phenotypes) were analyzed in older patients with suspected monogenic CKD who were referred to an Irish registry according to predetermined criteria. Independent genetic diagnosis and kidney survival time predictors were analyzed using marginal logistic and Cox regression analyses. Results: Two hundred sixty-five adults (from 202 families) were aged ≥ 60 years at the time of genetic testing, of which 74.3% (197/265) progressed to kidney failure. Diagnostic variants were found in 60.4% (122/202) families, including 39% of noncystic kidney disease families. Variants causing "later-onset" phenotypes were more prevalent in patients with disease-onset ≥ 60 years (56% vs. 8.3%; Conclusion: In older patients with CKD, genetic testing revealed enriched variants associated with less-penetrant phenotypes, often with a family history of CKD, which affects clinical management.
