Biomarkers of histologic severity in children with severe or atypical acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

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
backgroundAcute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children; however, in a small subgroup, the presentation is one of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) deteriorating kidney function associated with severe oligo-anuria or a mixed nephritic-nephrotic picture. This study reviewed potential clinical and laboratory factors which may assist the treating clinician to identify patients at high risk of severe disease.
methodsAll kidney biopsies for APSGN performed between 1996 and 2020 were obtained from a departmental biopsy database. Clinical and laboratory data were extracted from the patients' clinical records. Kidney biopsies were reviewed and scored independently by a renal histopathologist.
resultsThirty of 53 (56.6%) patients had stage 3 AKI at initial presentation with a median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 27 (IQR 11-41), falling to 20 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsSevere APSGN is associated with a pronounced reduction in eGFR. Calculation of eGFR in this small group of patients may assist in identifying which patient should have an urgent kidney biopsy to facilitate a more accurate clinical diagnosis and management plan.
