Biomarkers for the early diagnosis of Alport syndrome and associated kidney damage.
Review in Childhood kidney diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary nephropathy characterized by progressive kidney damage that commonly leads to end-stage kidney disease. Early diagnosis is critical, as preemptive nephroprotective therapy, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, can significantly delay disease progression. However, the early diagnosis of AS remains challenging due to the lack of reliable preclinical or screening biomarkers, particularly before the onset of proteinuria. Although nonspecific microhematuria is often present, it is insufficient for definitive early detection. Recent studies have identified potential early cellular alterations as candidate biomarkers for the preclinical detection of AS, but none have been widely implemented in clinical practice. This review presents the current knowledge on early biomarkers of kidney damage for AS, highlights promising avenues for future research, and emphasizes the importance of developing effective diagnostic tools to enable timely intervention and improve patient outcomes.
