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

backgroundData on the activation of the acute inflammatory response and its clinicopathological associations in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) are scarce and discordant.

objectiveTo analyse the associations between the activation of the inflammatory response, the clinicopathological characteristics of disease and the response to treatment with steroids in patients with INS.

methodsA total of 101 patients with INS due to minimal change disease (MCD;

resultsThe levels of Hx, Hgl, TNF-α, suPAR and IL-6 were higher in patients with INS than in healthy controls, and were not associated with proteinuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate or serum albumin. In MCD and FSGS patients, Hx, Hgl, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were similar and significantly higher than in MN patients. In patients with MCD and FSGS, multivariate analyses identified FSGS and the levels of Hx, Hgl or IL-6 as independent predictors of steroid resistance.

conclusionsThe activation of the inflammatory response in patients with INS is heterogeneous and more prevalent in MCD or FSGS patients than in those with MN. In MCD and FSGS, elevated levels of Hx, Hgl or IL-6 are independently associated with steroid resistance.
