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

backgroundHepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1B) pathogenic variants constitute a major genetic contributor to congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), with patients simultaneously exhibiting distinct extrarenal features. Among these clinical manifestations, renal disease progression is crucial for long-term outcomes, needing comprehensive evaluation.

methodsUsing the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (2017-2024), we analyzed 26 pediatric HNF1B cases to characterize renal phenotypes and genotype correlations.

resultsAll patients exhibited abnormal renal phenotypes at diagnosis: renal cysts (50%) and multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) (37.5%). Genetic analysis revealed 16 patients (61.5%) had a 17q12 deletion including the HNF1B gene, while the remaining carried HNF1B intragenic pathogenic variants, including a novel c.1390-1405dup. Comparing phenotypic trajectories, 17q12 deletion cases showed earlier renal phenotype onset (median age: 0 vs. 1 year 11 months, p = 0.121), while HNF1B variants showed faster renal function deterioration (latest eGFR: 85 vs. 45.6 mL/min/1.73 m², p = 0.11). Three of five CKD 5 children underwent kidney transplantation before 15; one developed reversible tacrolimus-induced hyperglycemia.

conclusionOur results suggest a potential trend wherein the 17q12 deletion may be associated with a higher prevalence of developmental renal anomalies, while HNF1B pathogenic variants might correlate with an increased risk of tubular dysfunction, indicating possible distinct genotype-phenotype correlations. Based on these observations, we recommend that affected families receive tailored clinical management, including prenatal counseling, genotype-specific monitoring, and regular renal function assessment.
