Circulating plasmablasts in children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe therapeutic efficacy of B cell-depleting anti-CD20 treatment in both pediatric and adult steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndromes (SSNS) suggests that B cells play a pathogenic role in the disease. In adults with minimal change disease (MCD), only circulating plasmablasts are increased during the active phase of the disease, among B cell subsets. These cells have not been studied yet in children with SSNS.
methodsWe retrospectively quantified by flow cytometry analysis circulating plasmablasts in 107 pediatric patients with SSNS (51 at disease onset, 27 during relapse, and 29 in remission). Data were compared with an equal number of age- and sex-matched healthy donors (HD).
resultsCirculating plasmablast levels, expressed as percentage of total CD19
conclusionsThe B cell phenotype of children with SSNS differs from that of adults with MCD. This may justify different therapeutic approaches.
