Application of Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process to establish indicator system for evaluation of rational drug use in children with primary nephrotic syndrome: Observational 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
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) can be divided into primary, secondary, and congenital NS 3 types, and primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) accounts for about 90% of the total number of NS in children, which is a common childhood glomerular disease one. The treatment of children with PNS has been controversial and confused because of hormone tolerance, complications, multiple drug combinations, and other issues, but there are no indicators to assess the rational drug use (RDU) of children with PNS. This study aims to develop a set of indicators to assess the RDU in children with PNS.The study is an observational study and the procedure includes 3 steps:A consensus was reached after 2 rounds of the Delphi survey and each indicator was weighted. The final indicators included 2 first-rank indicators and 16 second-rank indicators. In round 1, modified 3 indicators, increase 2 indicators and delete 6 indicators. In round 2, reached consensus. The first-rank indicators comprised drug choice (46.96%) and drug usage and dosage (53.04%); The second-rank indicators aimed to the specific drug therapy, including the RDU of hormones, immunomodulators, and adjuvant drug. The score of each indicator met the requirements, therefore, childrens PNS RDU evaluation index system had been established and the index was scientific and credible.The first set indicators had been established to assess RDU of children with PNS. Monitoring these indicators will guide people towards the promotion of RDU for PNS. Whats more, the indicator provided a methodological reference for the development of other indicator sets.
