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

backgroundPrevious reports suggest initial presentation of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in children is different from adults. No systematic comparison of clinical, biological, and histological childhood- and adult-onset IgAN is currently available.

methodsWe compared pediatric and adult clinical and histological characteristics at IgAN diagnosis. Data on 211 consecutive patients from two different centers in Paris (82 children, 129 adults) were reviewed. Kidney biopsies were scored for Oxford classification and podocytopathic (P1) features.

resultsWe report higher eGFR at diagnosis in children compared to adults (89.5 vs. 64 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionProteinuria in children with IgAN is a marker of glomerular proliferative lesions whereas its presence in adults often reflects the presence of chronic lesions. This suggests the need for histological assessment.
