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

The incidence of the collapsing variant of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) as a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated nephropathy has reduced since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, the incidence of other variants of FSGS, except for the collapsing variant, is increasing, and its therapeutic strategies remain uncertain. A 60-year-old HIV infected man in remission with ART was admitted for progressive renal insufficiency and nephrotic-ranged proteinuria. Renal biopsy revealed a tip variant of FSGS and his clinical manifestations resolved with corticosteroid therapy. HIV infected patients might develop non-collapsing FSGS, including tip variant of FSGS and corticosteroid therapy might be effective for them. A renal biopsy might be essential to determine the renal histology and to decide on corticosteroid therapy.
