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

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) defines a distinct histologic pattern observed in kidney tissue that is linked to several distinct underlying causes, all converging on the common factor of podocyte injury. It presents a considerable challenge in terms of classification because of its varied underlying causes and the limited correlation between histopathology and clinical outcomes. Critically, precise nomenclature is key to describe and delineate the pathogenesis, subsequently guiding the selection of suitable and precision therapies. A proposed pathomechanism-based approach has been suggested for FSGS classification. This approach differentiates among primary, secondary, genetic, and undetermined causes, aiming to provide clarity. Genetic FSGS from monogenic mutations can emerge during childhood or adulthood, and it is advisable to conduct genetic testing in cases in which there is a family history of chronic kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome, or resistance to treatment. Genome-wide association studies have identified several genetic risk variants, such as those in apolipoprotein L1 (
