Renal biopsy reports in nephritic syndrome: Update.
Article in World journal of nephrology, 2022. 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
backgroundNephritic syndrome (NiS) is a major indicator of serious renal diseases necessitating kidney biopsies for histopathological evaluations, but due to the lack of comprehensive reviews in the literature, the current understanding of the syndrome and its significance is limited.
aimTo collect all the evidence retrievable from the literature on the diagnoses made on the renal biopsies performed for NiS as the indication to the procedure.
methodsA literature search was conducted to find studies reporting final diagnoses on renal biopsies in NiS patients. Data were pooled and analyzed with stratifications on age and regions. Meta-analyzes were performed using Stata v.9.
resultsOverall, 26414 NiS patients from the total number of 96738 kidney biopsy diagnoses reported by 47 studies from 23 countries from all continents (except sub-Saharan Africa) were found and analyzed. NiS was the indication for renal biopsy in 21% of the patient populations across the reviewed studies. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy was the single most frequent diagnosis in these patients (approximately 38%) followed by lupus nephritis (approximately 8%) and Henoch Schönlein purpura (approximately 7%). IgA nephropathy was the most frequent diagnosis reported for the NiS patients from the East Asia, comprising half of all the cases, and least prevalent in South Asia. Considering the age subgroups, adult (
conclusionAs the indication for renal biopsy, NiS represents a very distinctive epidemiology of final renal disease diagnoses compared to the other major syndromes.
