Renal Biopsy in Children-Effect on Treatment Decisions: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 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
Renal biopsy is an important diagnostic tool, though invasive and carries risks involved with sedation. The authors wanted to compare suspect histopathological diagnosis with final diagnosis and find out impact of biopsy findings on treatment. They retrospectively analyzed 108 patients. Details of patients, diagnosis, treatment and complications due to kidney biopsy were documented. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 20.0 (IBM, NY). Indications of 108 children (69 boys, 39 girls) undergoing renal biopsy were steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (35.1%), steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome requiring calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) (12%), nephrotic range proteinuria with atypical features (16.7%), lupus nephritis (13%), and acute kidney injury (AKI) stage 3 (17.6%). Suspect and histopathological diagnoses were similar in 53% cases with agreement factor of 0.462. Treatment changed in 28.7%. Renal biopsy made substantial impact in patients with nephrotic range proteinuria with atypical features (55.6%) and AKI stage 3 (52.6%). One (0.9%) had developed gross hematuria, which resolved spontaneously.
