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

Occurrence of early nephrotic syndrome in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients is extremely rare. Herein, we report the case of a 12-year-old boy who presented to our pediatric nephrology clinic with generalized edema. He had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus at age 9 and had been treated with regular insulin. Examinations revealed normal kidney function, hypoalbuminemia, proteinuria (4+), hyperlipidemia, and low protein-to-creatinine ratio. The patient was diagnosed with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and was empirically administered prednisolone for 12 weeks. Subsequently, prednisolone was tapered over 10-12 weeks. The patient showed good response to treatment. In conclusion, co-existence of nephrotic syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus may suggest an immunological basis; therefore, further studies are needed to investigate the relationship between these two conditions.
