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

purposeAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic disease of the kidney. Due to the disturbances in extracellular matrix formation that are observed in ADPKD, connective tissue disorders belong to the clinical picture of the disease. Connective tissue is considered to play a role in the development of scoliosis. Consequently, ADPKD was proposed to be a risk factor for the development of scoliosis. The study was performed to test the hypothesis that ADPKD may be associated with scoliosis occurrence.

methodsIt was a retrospective case-control study. Participants have been randomly chosen from among adult renal transplant recipients treated at our center, and divided into ADPKD (study group) and non-ADPKD (control group). Participants' chest X-ray results were assessed for scoliosis.

results112 and 89 patients were included in the study group and the control group, respectively. The prevalence of scoliosis was 25.89% in the study group, and 29.21% in the control group (p = 0.60).

conclusionAccording to our results, ADPKD is not a risk factor for the development of scoliosis.
