Clinical characteristics and risk factors of severe infections in hospitalized adult patients with primary nephrotic syndrome.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective Infection is a common condition in patients with nephrotic syndrome. The objective of the present study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of infections in adult patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS). Methods Medical charts of 138 consecutive patients with PNS and infections who were admitted to hospital from April 2013 to April 2016 were systematically reviewed. Results Patients were divided into three groups according to the degree of infections: mild infection group (n = 45), moderate infection group (n = 60), and severe infection group (n = 33). In the severe infection group, most patients (96.9%) had pulmonary infections with opportunistic pathogens. There were significant differences in cumulative prednisone dose, immunosuppressor use, and CD4+ T cell count among the three groups. A lower CD4+ T cell count (<300 cells/mm
