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

Some children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) have been reported to suffer relapses in adulthood, but the clinical course of such adults is unclear. Four children with SSNS suffered relapses after 30 years of age. Those 4 patients developed frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome (NS) between 2 and 10 years of age. They were treated with prednisolone (PSL) combined with cyclophosphamide in 3 patients, mizoribine in 2, and cyclosporine in 1 during childhood, and with cyclosporine in 2 during adulthood. After 20 years of age, the frequency of relapses gradually decreased. The last relapse occurred between 33 and 39 years of age, and proteinuria disappeared within 1 month after the start of treatment with PSL. At the last follow-up, all 4 patients continued to receive PSL, had normal renal function, and were in complete remission of NS when they were between 33 and 41 years of age. Although the long-term outcome of SSNS is usually considered to be favorable, pediatricians should be aware that some children with SSNS may require long-term treatment during adulthood.
