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

backgroundPaired box gene 2 (PAX2) heterozygous mutations can cause renal coloboma syndrome, but its role in patients with focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) has been rarely reported.

methodsBased on the clinical manifestations and renal pathological characteristics of the patient, as well as familial whole exome sequencing, the diagnosis of FSGS related to PAX2 mutation was confirmed. Treatment such as lowering urinary protein and blood pressure was given, and the patient was followed up and observed.

resultsThere is a familial heterozygous case presented with chronic kidney disease secondary to FSGS, which was related to PAX2 frameshift mutation due to the deletion of G at the position 76 (c.76delG). To our knowledge, this is the first report of PAX2 c.76delG variant related to adult-onset FSGS.

conclusionHere, we further expand the phenotypic spectrum of FSGS. Genetic screening especially PAX2 mutation is recommended in patients with adult-onset FSGS of unknown etiology.
