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

Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a generic term that in the current terminology can be appropriate for identifying two conditions. First, a morphological pattern of injury characterized by the occlusion of a single or group of glomerular capillary loops by sclerotic material, indicating a precise histological lesion but with a wide range of etiological interpretations. Second, a pauci-immune renal disease called idiopathic or primary FSGS, which is a podocytopathy triggered by an endogenous cytotoxin that recognizes the podocyte as its sole target. Based on the current and past literature, we do not possess practical tools to easily provide a precise classification of an FSGS lesion, although some clues may be of help in everyday clinical practice. Reactive forms, genetic forms, adaptive forms, forms associated with a deregulation of the proliferation and forms secondary to local glomerular inflammation are the etiological classes known to be associated with the development of an FSGS lesion. However, diagnosing each single case based on clinical, serological and histological criteria is still far from easy and mostly depends on the experience of the renal team, which should involve skilled nephrologists and pathologists.
