A case of minimal change nephrotic syndrome with pregnancy.
Article in CEN case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A 32-year-old Japanese woman at 8 weeks of gestation was admitted to our hospital for systemic edema, hypoalbuminemia, and severe proteinuria. The patient had a history of generalized alopecia and migraine. We diagnosed nephrotic syndrome, and renal biopsy revealed minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS). We administered 1000 mg/day of methylprednisolone for 3 days. Oral corticosteroid therapy was followed by 40 mg of prednisolone daily. We carefully selected concomitant medication after considering organogenesis. Before and after renal biopsy, we administered heparin, antithrombin III, and immunoglobulin agents as appropriate. The patient achieved complete remission on day 8 of treatment and gave birth to a boy at 37 weeks of gestation without recurrence. MCNS during pregnancy is rare, and there is no established treatment. In conclusion, we present a case of a pregnant woman with MCNS during organogenesis. Early treatment initiation can provide a good prognosis for both mother and child.
