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

The principle cause of one of the most prevalent genetic disorders, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, involves mutations in the PKD1 gene. However, since its identification in 1994, only 27 mutations have been published. Detection of mutations has been complicated because the greater part of the gene lies within a genomic region that is reiterated several times at another locus on chromosome 16. Amplification of DNA fragments in the repeated part of the PKD1 gene will lead to coamplification of highly homologous fragments derived from this other locus. These additional fragments severely hamper point-mutation detection. None of the point mutations published to date are located in the repeated part of the PKD1 gene. However, we have reduced the problems posed by the strong homology, by using the protein-truncation test, and we have identified eight novel mutations, seven of which are located in the repeated part of the PKD1 gene.
