Renal outcomes in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease: a single center experience in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) is a significant complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) with an asymptomatic onset in childhood and potential progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The clinical findings of SCN include hyposthenuria, hematuria, proteinuria, hyperfiltration, and CKD. Data on renal manifestation among patients with SCD in Saudi Arabia is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate renal outcomes in patients with SCD who visited a hematology clinic at the National Guard Hospital, Jeddah. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of renal complications in patients with SCD who are within 0-14 years of age and on regular follow-ups at the pediatric hematology clinic in King Abdulaziz Medical City-Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Results: Among the 140 patients with SCD, 99 met the inclusion criteria. The median age at diagnosis was 18 (1-108) months. Two SCD phenotypes were observed, with 82 (83%) patients having sickle cell anemia (HbSS) and 17 (17%) having HbS/B Conclusion: SCN is a significant complication of SCD. In this study, we assessed the renal outcomes in pediatric patients with SCD. After analyzing the clinical findings of SCN, we concluded that the presence of renal complications in pediatric patients presented a progressive pattern.
