Pathophysiological clinical features of an infant with hypertension secondary to multicystic dysplastic kidney: a case report.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe association of hypertension with congenital renal hypoplasia has been established. We report a case of an infant who underwent nephrectomy for hypertension. CASE PRESENTATION: Magnetic resonance imaging for the mother revealed fetal renal masses, and fetal multicystic dysplastic kidney was suspected. Following birth, the baby developed hypertension. Numerous investigations revealed that the left kidney was non-functional, and she was initiated on benazepril hydrochloride. However, because the drug response was poor, the left kidney was removed at the age of 7 months. Examination of the renal specimen revealed abrupt transition from normal to atrophic cortex with lobar atrophy and cysts. Tubular atrophy, marked abnormal blood vessels with wall thickening, gathered immature glomeruli, and parenchymal destruction were observed. Renin was partially localized in the proximal tubules and the parietal epithelium of the Bowman's capsule in the immature glomeruli. We speculated that an abnormal vascular structure and irregular renin localizations may be the cause of hypertension. Serum renin and aldosterone levels gradually reduced post-surgery, reaching normal levels on the 90th postoperative day. A long follow-up is needed due to the possibility of the child developing hypertension in the future.
conclusionThis is a case of an infant with MCDK, which discusses the clinicopathological features based on the pathophysiological analysis, including renin evaluation.
