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

introductionIn 2020, a working group of 13 renal pathologists published consensus definitions for 47 individual glomerular lesions found on light microscopy (LM) and 47 glomerular lesions and 9 normal structures found on electron microscopy (EM).

methodsTo test the impact of these definitions on identification of these lesions and structures, 2 surveys were circulated to all members of the Renal Pathology Society (RPS), each having 32 images (19 LM, 13 EM) and accompanying questions with 5 multiple-choice answers, one being the consensus choice of the working group. The first survey (survey 1 [S1]), answered by 297 RPS members, was sent in September 2020, before publication of the consensus definitions. The second (survey 2 [S2]), with images of the same lesions and structures (but not the same images) and the same questions and multiple choices in different order, was sent in April 2020, 5 months after the publication of the definitions.

resultsS2 was taken by 181 RPS members; 64% also took S1 and 61% reported having read the definitions paper (def. paper). Mean agreement with the consensus answers increased modestly between the 2 surveys (65.2% vs. 72.0%,

conclusionsPublication of the consensus definitions modestly improved interobserver agreement in identification of glomerular lesions.
