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

backgroundCongenital nephrotic syndrome is difficult to manage, particularly the Finnish type (CNF), with patients experiencing severe edema, sepsis and thrombosis before kidney transplantation. Further, nephrosis and thrombosis remain problematic after transplantation.

methodsOf 22 CNF patients managed at our hospital, 14 who underwent kidney transplantation were retrospectively studied. CNF was diagnosed according to standard criteria.

resultsThe study population consisted of 3 males and 11 females. Mean gestation period was 36 ± 1.4 weeks and mean birth weight was 2442 ± 454 g (mean placenta to body weight ratio: 0.4). All patients started dialysis at 2.4 ± 1.3 years and underwent kidney transplantation at 5.2 ± 2.0 years. The kidneys were donated by the parents (n = 13), and cadaver (n = 2), including overlap. Mean follow-up period after transplantation was 14.3 ± 8.9 years, and mean age at last observation was 19.5 ± 8.5 years. Two patients had recurrent proteinuria after kidney transplantation; one underwent retransplantation following graft failure and eventually required dialysis, while the second had complete remission after intensive immunosuppressive therapy. There were no cases of thrombosis or serious infections. Mean eGFR at the time of last observation was 57.3 ± 16.5 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionsLong-term outcome in these 14 CNF patients showed satisfactory graft survival, improved height SD score, and favorable development. Although recurrent proteinuria after transplant was not predictive, it was associated with graft survival rate.
