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

backgroundIt is not yet clear if blood pressure and renal function changes evolve differently in children with a congenital or acquired solitary functioning kidney. This study aims to assess if there are any differences between these two types of solitary kidney patients.

methodsCurrent research is a retrospective study assessing the evolution of glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria, and blood pressure in clinical records of 55 children with a solitary functioning kidney (37 congenital and 18 acquired). We used the medical records of children who had been assisted, in our unit of pediatric nephrology, for a period of 14 years (168 months), from the time of diagnosis, between January/1997 and December/2015.

resultsDuring the study period, glomerular filtration rate (T0 128.89 ± 32.24 vs T14 118.51 ± 34.45 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionsThe renal function of children with solitary functioning kidneys remains stable during a follow-up of 14 years. However, these children should be carefully monitored for their tendency to develop arterial blood pressure greater than the 90th percentile for gender, age, and height.
