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

Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) remains a challenge for paediatric nephrologists. SRNS is viewed as a heterogeneous disease entity including immune-based and monogenic aetiologies. Because SRNS is rare, treatment strategies are individualized and vary among centres of expertise. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) have been effectively used to induce remission in patients with immune-based SRNS; however, there is still no consensus on treating children who become either CNI-dependent or CNI-resistant. Rituximab is a steroid-sparing agent for patients with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, but its efficacy in SRNS is controversial. Recently, several novel monoclonal antibodies are emerging as treatment option, but their efficacy remains to be seen. Non-immune therapies, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, have been proven efficacious in children with SRNS and are recommended as adjuvant agents. This review summarizes and discusses our current understandings in treating children with idiopathic SRNS.
