Relationships between the clinical phenotypes and genetic variants associated with the immunological mechanism in childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome: protocol for a prospective observational single-centre cohort study.

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.
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
introductionIdiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is the most common glomerulopathy that results in childhood chronic kidney disease in China, but the relationships between different clinical phenotypes and immunological genetic variants observed in patients with INS are ambiguous and have not been well studied. A cohort study combined with whole exome sequencing might further identify the effects of immunological genetic variants on clinical phenotypes and treatment outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We describe a 3 year prospective observational single-centre cohort study to be conducted in the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in China. This study will recruit and investigate 336 patients with childhood-onset INS presenting with different clinical phenotypes. Whole exome sequencing will be conducted when patients progress to a confirmed clinical phenotype during follow-up. Relevant clinical and epidemiological data, as well as conventional specimens, will be collected at study entry and 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years after disease onset. After this cohort is generated, the immunological genetic variants of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome without frequent relapse, steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome and steroid-dependent/frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome will be evaluated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol is approved by Ethics Committee of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (reference number 2018-140). The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR1800019795.
