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

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histologic lesion resulting from a variety of pathogenic processes that cause injury to the podocytes. Recently, mutations in more than 50 genes expressed in podocyte or glomerular basement membrane were identified as causing genetic forms of FSGS, the majority of which are characterized by onset in childhood. The prevalence of adult-onset genetic FSGS is likely to be underestimated and its clinical and histological features have not been clearly described. A small number of studies of adult-onset genetic FSGS showed that there is heterogeneity in clinical and histological findings, with a presentation ranging from sub-nephrotic proteinuria to full nephrotic syndrome. A careful evaluation of adult-onset FSGS that do not have typical features of primary or secondary FSGS (familial cases, resistance to immunosuppression and absence of evident cause of secondary FSGS) should include a genetic evaluation. Indeed, recognizing genetic forms of adult-onset FSGS is of the utmost importance, given that this diagnosis will have major implications on treatment strategies, selecting of living-related kidney donor and renal transplantation success.
