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

backgroundCongenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) comprise a broad spectrum of malformations and constitute the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in childhood. Despite extensive research, a monogenic cause is identified in only ~10% of cases, while variable penetrance and expressivity suggest a more complex disease mechanism. Epigenetic and environmental factors have also been implicated, further complicating efforts to elucidate the etiology of these anomalies.

methodsWhole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 47 individuals with isolated, non-syndromic congenital renal parenchymal anomalies.

resultsVariants in four genes (

conclusionsOur findings support WES as a valuable tool for identifying clinically relevant variants and expanding the genetic landscape of CAKUT.
