Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06130631 (Retrospective Study on Predictors of Steroid Response in Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome at Assiut University Children Hospital), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

The pathogenetic basis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, a common childhood glomerulopathy, is being explored. While initial evidence supported an imbalance of T helper responses, recent studies suggest alterations in both innate and adaptive immune responses, including evidence for impaired T regulatory function. The central role of the podocyte in causing proteinuria is confirmed by the observation of mutations in key podocyte proteins in steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome and experimental evidence of altered podocyte signaling and cytoskeletal organization. The outcome and management of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children is determined by the response to corticosteroids and the frequency of relapses. While patients with steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome have a favorable long term outcome, almost half of them relapse frequently and are at risk of adverse effects of corticosteroids. Although various non-corticosteroid immunosuppressive agents are used to prolong disease remission, careful monitoring is required for the potential adverse effects. Calcineurin inhibitors have emerged as the choice of therapy in patients with steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. However, the management of this form of the disease is particularly challenging because of the variable response to immunosuppression, therapy-related significant adverse effects and high rates of disease progression to end stage renal disease. Patients with both corticosteroid sensitive and resistant forms of the disease are at risk of complications of disease, and require close monitoring and repeated counseling.
