Childhood nephrotic syndrome at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Abuja, Nigeria: a preliminary report supports high steroid responsiveness.
Article in Sudanese journal of paediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The response to steroid in childhood nephrotic syndrome (CNS) varies across geographical regions, depending on aetiology, genetics, and the underlying pathology. Recently, there is an increasing steroid responsiveness among Nigerian children with nephrotic syndrome (NS). This is the first report of CNS at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria, between 15th January 2016 and 30th June 2018. Prednisolone was administered to all the children with NS according to the regimen of the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children. There were 46 children aged 17 months to 18 years, including 37 males and 9 females. The peak age was 6-10 years with a mean age of 8.2 ± 4.4 years. Forty-one (89.1%) had idiopathic NS (INS). Secondary NS occurred in five (10.9%) children with hepatitis B infection, sickle cell anaemia, haemolytic-uraemic syndrome, and post-infectious glomerulonephritis (two cases).
