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

Objectives: To determine the spectrum of kidney diseases in Omani children < 13 years of age and to evaluate the complications following kidney biopsy. Methods: This study retrospectively investigated the hospital data of children who underwent kidney biopsies from January 2014 to June 2019 at Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman. Results: The subjects comprised of 78 children with a median age of 8.0 years (range = 0-13 years). Histopathology showed minimal change disease in 15 (19.2%) children, lupus nephritis in 13 (16.7%), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in 13 (16.7%). The most common post-biopsy complications were pain that required analgesia (38; 49.4%) followed by gross hematuria (10; 13.0%). No patient required blood transfusion or surgical intervention. Conclusions: Minimal change disease was the most common histopathological finding in this cohort of Omani children. The records did not mention any major complications following the renal biopsy procedure.
