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

Background: Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 96 genetically confirmed NIID patients. Renal function was comprehensively assessed using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) derived from the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation (CKD-EPI 2021; hereafter EPI-eGFR) and a panel of five urinary biomarkers (microalbumin, transferrin, immunoglobulin G, α1-microglobulin, and α2-macroglobulin). Clinical features, GGC repeat number, and skin intranuclear inclusion count were analyzed for their association with renal function. Renal biopsies from two patients with pre-neurological proteinuria were examined for intranuclear inclusions. Results: Reduced EPI-eGFR (<90 mL/min/1.73 m Conclusion: Kidney involvement is common in this hospital-based NIID cohort, with a substantial proportion showing subclinical renal impairment. Sensitive urinary biomarkers may aid early detection before eGFR declines, with microalbumin showing the highest discriminative ability. Hypertension is a potentially modifiable risk factor for reduced eGFR. Genetic burden and skin inclusion burden do not predict renal outcomes, suggesting that secondary mechanisms drive progression. For patients who present with unexplained renal impairment, pathological examination of renal biopsy specimens for intranuclear inclusions may provide critical diagnostic clues.
