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

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a pathological lesion with diverse etiologies. UMOD gene variants, typically associated with autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD), are rarely reported as a cause of FSGS and remain poorly characterized. We report a young male patient with familial nephropathy whose renal biopsy revealed FSGS and whole-exome sequencing identified a heterozygous UMOD variant (OMIM: 191845), c.113 A > T (p.Asn38Ile). This case indicates that UMOD variants can manifest with FSGS as the predominant histological finding, and the accumulation of mutant uromodulin may initiate tubular injury and ultimately leading to secondary glomerulosclerosis. These findings highlight the necessity of incorporating genetic testing into FSGS evaluation to achieve precise diagnosis and guide management.
