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

Kidney involvement in systemic sclerosis occurs in about 20% of cases, with scleroderma renal crisis as a significant complication. However, cases of glomerular disease with massive proteinuria are rare. We present a unique case of systemic sclerosis with the development of nephrotic syndrome. The report provides clinical details and podocyte pathological findings. A 40-year-old male with prior skin sclerosis was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis. Treatment with oral prednisone led to gradual improvement, but a year later, he experienced a systemic sclerosis renal crisis. Using the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors improved kidney function. However, 3 months later, nephrotic syndrome was diagnosed. Despite an increased prednisolone dose, proteinuria persisted. A kidney biopsy revealed glomerular sclerosis and characteristic vascular changes. Immunofluorescent studies showed no deposits. Electron microscopy confirmed podocyte abnormalities.
