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 transplantation (RTx) is the only curative treatment for most cases of congenital and infantile nephrotic syndrome (NS) caused by genetic defects in glomerular podocyte proteins. The outcome of RTx in these children is usually excellent, with no recurrence of nephrotic syndrome. A subgroup of patients with the Finnish type of congenital nephrosis (CNF), shows, however, a clear risk for post-RTx proteinuria. Most of these patients have a homozygous truncating mutation (Fin-major mutation) in the nephrin gene (NPHS1), leading to total absence of the major podocyte protein, nephrin. After RTx, these patients develop anti-nephrin antibodies resulting in nephrotic range proteinuria. Plasma exchange combined with cyclophosphamide and anti-CD20 antibodies has proved to be successful therapy for these episodes. NS recurrence has also occurred in a few patients with mutations in the podocin gene (NPHS2). No anti-podocin antibodies have been detectable, and the pathophysiology of the recurrence remains open. While most of these episodes have resolved, the optimal therapy remains to be determined.
