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

RATIONALE &

objectiveLate-onset Anderson-Fabry disease appears in adulthood, usually with prevalent cardiac involvement. The N215S (p.Asn215Ser) missense mutation represents the most frequent late-onset variant in European countries. The N215S nephropathy was then investigated from a clinical and histopathological point of view. STUDY

designRenal and cardiac assessments were evaluated at baseline. The standardized scoring system of histologic involvement proposed by International Study Group of Fabry Nephropathy was applied to kidney biopsies, performed before the treatment start. A deeper digital histological reinterpretation was provided in a subgroup. Treated patients' renal function was evaluated at diagnosis (T0), after 5 years (T1) and after 10 years (T2) from the treatment start. SETTING &

participants27 patients (11 males, 16 female) with a N215S variant were evaluated.

findingsMean eGFR at diagnosis was 84.98 ± 26.4 mL/min/1.73m LIMITATIONS: The main limitation was the number of patients, as well as the number of available kidney and cardiac biopsies.

conclusionsEven at early stages, N215S patients display typical histological abnormalities of Fabry disease. Moreover, chronic kidney disease seems to progress over time in treated patients, with arterial and arteriolar intimal fibrosis.
