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

Idiopathic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is most frequently characterized by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) but also other histological lesions, such as diffuse mesangial sclerosis. In the past two decades, a multitude of genetic causes of SRNS have been discovered raising the question of effective treatment in this cohort. Although no controlled studies are available, this review will discuss treatment options including pharmacologic interventions aiming at the attenuation of proteinuria in genetic causes of SRNS, such as inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and indomethacin. Also, the potential impact of other interventions to improve podocyte stability will be addressed. In this respect, the treatment with cyclosporine A (CsA) is of interest, since a podocyte stabilizing effect has been demonstrated in various experimental models. Although clinical response to CsA in children with genetic forms of SRNS is inferior to sporadic SRNS, some recent studies show that partial and even complete response can be achieved even in individual patients inherited forms of nephrotic syndrome. Ideally, improved pharmacologic and molecular approaches to induce partial or even complete remission will be available in the future, thus slowing or even preventing the progression toward end-stage renal disease.
