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

The study group consisted of 16 children (9 boys and 7 girls) aged 6-52 months (mean age 27 months) with a first episode of nephrotic syndrome. Histological diagnosis (diffuse mesangial proliferation with signs of glomerular immaturity) was established by renal biopsy. The control group consisted of 47 children (26 boys and 21 girls) aged 7-58 months (mean 29 months) hospitalized with a first episode of nephrotic syndrome with diffuse mesangial proliferation, documented exclusively by histological examination. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical course of a first episode of nephrotic syndrome in children with diffuse mesangial proliferation with and without signs of glomerular immaturity. In children with a first episode of the nephrotic syndrome and glomerular immaturity steroid resistance was more frequent (P=0.0234). Furthermore, in the study group there was a less favorable clinical course of the disease in children younger than 1 year of age and with an original serum albumin concentration lower than 1.0 g/dl. Hence, the presence of relatively rare signs of glomerular immaturity influences unfavorably the course and treatment of nephrotic syndrome in children.
