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

Introduction: Thromboembolic events (TEEs) are a serious and potentially fatal complication of nephrotic syndrome (NS). Despite this, there is a lack of evidence examining the benefits of prophylactic anticoagulation (PAC) in NS. It was our objective to review the risk factors, rates of TEEs, and patterns of PAC in patients with primary NS, with the aim to provide a pragmatic approach to PAC in primary NS. Methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal cohort study of adult patients with primary NS. Included were as follows: biopsy-proven minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (described as a combined podocytopathy cohort) plus membranous nephropathy (MN) over an 8-year period from a single centre. Anticoagulation practice, TEEs, and longer term outcomes were recorded. Results: Fifty-four patients with MN and 48 patients with podocytopathies were included. Baseline demographics and severity of NS were comparable. Those with MN were more likely to develop TEE 12 (22%) versus 4 (8%) ( Discussion/Conclusion: PAC practices applied in this cohort of patients were pragmatic and effective, with low TEE rates during active NS.
