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

Background: Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is a rare disease associated with the polycystic kidney gene, and the initial symptoms are often associated with portal hypertension, such as splenomegaly and esophageal varices. While the basic clinical features and pathogenesis of isolated CHF have been thoroughly studied, patients frequently present variable combined phenotypes including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and Von Meyenburg complex (VMC). The pathogenic mechanisms driving these composite phenotypes require further exploration. Methods and results: We report a case of an adult female patient who was admitted due to unexplained upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Upon admission, the patient was diagnosed with congenital hepatic fibrosis in conjunction with VMC and ADPKD, based on findings from liver puncture biopsy, exome sequencing (ES), biochemical tests, and imaging examinations. Conclusions: The PKD1 gene is the causative gene for this patient's CHF combined with VMC and ADPKD.
