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: Minimal change disease (MCD) is a common pathological type of nephrotic syndrome (NS), and is one of the most common causes of NS in children, but is not common in adults. MCD is sensitive to corticosteroid therapy and has a good prognosis, but is prone to relapse. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is less common in MCD. Case presentation: We report a case of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) with arrhythmia associated with MCD in adults. The hypercoagulable state caused by MCD through multiple systems may be one of the important causes of thrombosis in this patient. In addition to the conventional corticosteroid therapy, he was started on anticoagulation for VTE and PE. His hospital course was complicated by atrial tachyarrhythmias initially controlled by amiodarone but he required readmission due to recurrent atrial flutter. His clinical condition became more stable after radiofrequency ablation. Conclusion: VTE associated with MCD in adults is rare. Treatment of MCD with corticosteroids may be associated with a higher risk of developing blood clots. This type of case is relatively rare and should be paid attention to. The mechanism of VTE in MCD is still a direction worthy of further research.
