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: Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically heterogenous kidney disease characterized by microhematuria, proteinuria, and progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although early renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) are standard of care, evidence on sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in AS is limited. Thus, this study evaluated SGLT2i effects in adult patients with AS. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study, including patients with genetically confirmed AS with significant proteinuria treated with combined RASi + SGLT2i. Clinico-laboratory data were collected longitudinally and compared with the preceding decade on stable RASi alone. Chronic estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria slopes, changes in time-averaged proteinuria, subgroups responses, and secondary SGLT2i effects were assessed. Results: Eighteen adult patients with AS (mean age: 54.3 ± 15.4 years; baseline eGFR: 61.9 ± 26.5 ml/min per 1.73 m Conclusion: This real-world study suggests a potential nephroprotective role of SGLT2i in adult patients with AS, including heterozygous
