Successful treatment by mycophenolate mofetil in a patient with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis associated with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
Article in CEN case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
It has been reported that cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment may be associated with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. We report a 16-year-old man who exhibited nephrotic syndrome and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Intensive antihypertensive therapy restored him to consciousness. Renal biopsy revealed that he suffered from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Although he was treated with prednisolone and low-density lipoprotein apheresis therapy, his proteinuria remained at high level. Then, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with less influence on vessel endothelium compared with CsA and tacrolimus was administered. Soon after, he reached remission of nephrotic syndrome without recurrence of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. This is the first case that a young patient of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome achieved a complete remission by MMF treatment without recurrence of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. MMF may be effective for young patients of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis especially with clinical condition of vascular endothelial damage such as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
