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

Renal histological features of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are found in 75% of pediatric patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. In order to evaluate the predictive factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD), we retrospectively reviewed the records of 110 children with biopsy-proven FSGS admitted between 1972 and 2004. Renal survival was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox's regression model. Two multivariate models were developed: (1) from the onset of symptoms to the occurrence of CKD and (2) from the time of renal biopsy to CKD. Mean follow-up time was 10 years [standard deviation ((SD) 5.5], and 24 patients (21.8%) progressed to CKD. At baseline, after adjustment three variables remained as independent predictors of CKD: age >6.5 years (RR=3.3, 95% CI=1.3-7.8), creatinine >1 mg/dl (RR=2.5, 95% CI=0.97-6.5), and non-response to steroids (RR=7.3, 95% CI=2.7-19.7). In a model with continuous variables only age and non-response to steroids were associated with CKD. At the time of renal biopsy, after adjustment two variables remained as independent predictors of CKD: hematuria (RR=3.0, 95% CI=1.2-7.3) and creatinine >0.8 mg/dl (RR=4.3, 95% CI=1.7-10.6). In a model with continuous variables four factors predicted CKD: age, creatinine, hematuria, and percentage of global sclerosis.
