Kidney biopsy findings in children with diabetes mellitus.

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
backgroundDiabetic nephropathy may begin in childhood, but clinical kidney disease ascribable to this is uncommon in children with type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus.
methodsWe reviewed our experience of kidney biopsies in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
resultsBetween 1995 and 2022, there were biopsies in 17 children, with various clinical indications for kidney biopsy, making this the largest series of biopsies in diabetic children with clinical kidney abnormalities. Four biopsies showed diabetic nephropathy, three showed the combination of diabetic nephropathy and IgA nephropathy, and ten showed a variety of conditions other than diabetic nephropathy: minimal change disease (2), membranous nephropathy (2), thin glomerular basement membrane lesion (2), non-glomerular chronic damage in Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (2), acute pauciimmune necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (1) and IgA nephropathy (1). Clinical clues of something other than diabetic nephropathy included acute kidney injury, microscopic haematuria or chronic kidney impairment with little or no proteinuria and the nephrotic syndrome after a short duration of diabetes.
conclusionsWe confirm that changes better known in adults with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus can occur in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus: overt diabetic nephropathy either on its own or combined with other conditions and kidney disorders other than diabetic nephropathy.
