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

C1q nephropathy (C1qN) is an uncommon disorder seen in children and adults with nephrotic syndrome and non-specific urinary findings. It has been described with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), focal segmental glomerulonephritis and isolated mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. We describe nine children with MCNS and mesangial C1q deposition. These children had a median age of 2.7 years at diagnosis (range 1.3-15 years), 56% were male and 78% were Hispanic. We compared these children to concurrent patients with nephrotic syndrome and biopsy-proven MCNS. We found that the C1qN patients were more likely than MCNS children to require chronic immunosuppression with calcineurin inhibitors or mycophenolate mofetil to maintain remission. However, all children were able to achieve and sustain clinical remission of nephrotic syndrome. Children with C1qN and minimal change histology have an increased frequency of frequently relapsing and steroid-unresponsive disease, but they can attain prolonged remission and stable renal function with calcineurin inhibitor or mycophenolate mofetil therapy.
