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

Minimal change disease (MCD) or minimal change glomerulonephritis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are the two major causes of nephrotic syndrome in children and young adults. Both disease entities resemble each other and can sometimes only be discriminated on the basis of their clinical courses. MCD and FSGS display two classical examples that share a common pathophysiology in which the glomerular podocyte and the cytoskeleton of its foot processes play important roles. Therefore, the term "podocytopathy" was introduced for both diseases. In this article, we compare their differences and similarities, and summarized new data on pathophysiology and treatment. In adults, only a renal biopsy including electron microscopy allows for the discrimination of MCD and FSGS and other differential diagnoses. The identification of a primary or secondary form of the disease is based on the clinical course. Data from studies on the treatment are sparse; hence, treatment is still based on high-dose steroids followed by additional immunosuppressive agents. In secondary forms, treatment of the underlying disease is elementary.
