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

Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by mutations in type IV collagen genes, clinically characterized by progressive renal function deterioration. Despite advances in genetic screening technologies, cases resulting from non-canonical splice site variants remain diagnostically challenging, frequently leading to missed diagnoses or delayed therapeutic intervention. Here, we report a pediatric patient with AS and his mother, both harboring a novel splicing variant in the COL4A5 gene. The proband presented with microscopic hematuria and was found to carry a hemizygous COL4A5 variant (NM_033380.3: c.3374-3T > G) through whole-exome sequencing. To determine the pathogenicity of this variant,
