Lipoprotein glomerulopathy: a rare cause of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in a child.
Article in CEN case reports, 2024. 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
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a rare condition of renal lipidosis characterized by lipoprotein thrombi in glomeruli, an abnormal plasma lipoprotein profile, and a marked increase in serum apolipoprotein E (apo E) levels. It is a monogenic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance and the average age of presentation is 32 years (4-69 years). It is rare in children. The presentation can be nephrotic syndrome, hematuria, or progressive renal failure. Here we report the first described case of LPG in an Indian 7.5-year-old boy who presented with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome with normal renal function. A renal biopsy was suggestive of lipoprotein glomerulopathy. The detection of a pathogenic variant in apo E, Kyoto type, by exome sequencing, confirmed the diagnosis of lipoprotein glomerulopathy. Complete response was achieved with Angiotensin-converting Enzyme inhibitor and fenofibrates.
