Differences of clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of IgA nephropathy patients with and without nephrotic syndrome.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo evaluate the differences in clinicopathological features and outcomes of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients with and without nephrotic syndrome.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, IgAN patients from January 2006 to December 2011 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled and followed up to Dec 31, 2013. Logistic and Cox regression were conducted to evaluate the associated factors of nephrotic syndrome (NS) and its relation with outcomes of creatinine doubling and progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
resultsA total of 1413 patients with IgAN were enrolled in this study, 57 (4.0%) of whom exhibited NS. Meanwhile, 13 (22.8%) of NS IgAN patients had minimal change disease (MCD). Logistic regression showed that more presence of hypertension, less glomerular sclerosis, less tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis, and lower density of IgA deposition in mesangial region were significantly associated with NS IgAN that were independent of age and gender. In addition, a total of 921 patients (890 with non-NS IgAN and 31 with NS IgAN) were followed up to Dec 31, 2013. After adjusting for age, sex, baseline estimated glomerular rate, hypertension and hemoglobin, no significant difference was observed in outcomes of serum creatinine doubling and ESKD between patients with or without NS IgAN.
conclusionsPrevalence of NS IgAN patients was 4.0%, and 22.8% of them had MCD. Patients with NS IgAN had more severe clinical but less severe pathological features. However, outcomes of serum creatinine doubling and ESKD were not significantly different between patients with or without NS IgAN.
