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

introductionIdiopathic nodular glomerulosclerosis (ING) is a condition that has a vasculopathic glomerular histological pattern. CASE PRESENTATION: The authors present the case of a 44-year-old Hispanic smoker female with hypertension and peripheral arterial disease who presented nephrotic syndrome for 2 weeks. The patient was diagnosed with ING by percutaneous renal biopsy results, which showed global nodular mesangial matrix expansion, with linear staining accentuation of glomerular and tubular basement membrane for Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin on immunofluorescence.

conclusionsING is a rare disease with a poor renal prognosis and wide diagnostic approach; we highlight the importance of analyzing every piece of detail together to reach a definitive diagnosis.
