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

Background and objectives: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) in the first year of life is called congenital (CNS) if diagnosed between 0-3 months, or infantile (INS) if diagnosed between 3-12 months of age. The aim of this study was to determine if there were clinically meaningful differences between CNS and INS patients, regarding clinical presentation, management and outcomes. Design setting participants and measurements: Eleven Pediatric Nephrology Research Consortium sites participated in the study, using IRB-approved retrospective chart reviews of CNS and INS patients born between 1998 and 2019. Data were collected on patient characteristics, pertinent laboratory tests, provided therapy, timing of unilateral/bilateral nephrectomy and initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Results: The study included 69 patients, 49 with CNS and 20 with INS, with a median age at diagnosis of 1 and 6 months, respectively. Management for the two groups was similar regarding nutrition, thyroxin supplementation, immunoglobulin administration, and thrombosis prophylaxis. Within the first 2 months after diagnosis, daily albumin infusions were used more often in CNS Conclusion: Compared to INS, patients with CNS had a more severe disease course, requiring more frequent albumin infusions, and earlier nephrectomy and RRT. Despite center-specific variations in patient care, 20-40% of these patients did not require nephrectomy or RRT.
