Assessment of the etiologies and renal outcomes of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis in pediatric patients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

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
objectivesTo investigate the etiologies and outcomes of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) in pediatric patients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted in 19 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with RPGN between 2006 and 2016 at the Department of Pediatric Medicine at KAUH. Associations between variables were evaluated using independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Chi-squared tests.
resultsMajority of patients were male, (68.4%), with a mean±SD age at diagnosis of 8.52±3.15 years. The most common underlying etiologies were post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) (63.2%) and lupus nephritis (21.1%). Thirteen patients exhibited a good clinical prognosis (68.4%), with 6 exhibiting a poor prognosis (31.6%), 4 of whom progressed to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), one experiencing a relapse and one developing chronic kidney disease. Post-infectious glomerulonephritis was associated with the best clinical outcome overall. Treatment was implemented early in most patients and continued for 3 months. Among the 19 patients, 2 died and one underwent hemodialysis.
conclusionPost-infectious glomerulonephritis was the most common etiology of RPGN, with these patients achieving a good clinical prognosis overall. Early identification and treatment of RPGN is important to preserve renal function, which is a key factor for achieving a good prognosis.
