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

backgroundSeveral recent studies have shown improved short-term outcome of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) in children; however, only a few studies have evaluated the long-term outcome. The aims of our study were to obtain detailed data and analyze the long-term outcome of children with SRNS.

methodsSixty-nine children with idiopathic SRNS were enrolled and divided into two groups based on initial histopathological patterns: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change (MC)/diffuse mesangial proliferation (DMP). The effects of initial treatment with the immunosuppressant of choice (cyclosporine or cyclophosphamide) on renal survival, remission, and incidence of complications were analyzed in both groups (4 subgroups).

resultsThe renal survival rate was significantly different among the four different subgroups based on different combinations of initial histopathological pattern (FSGS vs. MC/DMP) and initial immunosuppressant used for treating SRNS (cyclosporine vs. cyclophosphamide) (P = 0.013), with renal survival in the FSGS (cyclophosphamide) subgroup being especially low (54.6 %). Disease- and/or treatment-associated complications were relatively low; however, hypertension at last examination was observed in a considerable number of patients (31.9 %).

conclusionsOur results suggest that a recently developed therapeutic regimen with cyclosporine considerably improves both the initial remission rate and the long-term renal survival rate of children with idiopathic SRNS.
