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

Background: Obstetric and kidney outcomes following detection of nephrotic-range proteinuria in early pregnancy have not been well described. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in pregnancy between 2008 and 2018. Outcomes in those with nephrotic-range proteinuria before 20 weeks' gestation were compared to those without nephrotic-range proteinuria. Results: The study included 37 women with nephrotic-range proteinuria and 62 women without. Pre-pregnancy estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was similar. Nephrotic-range proteinuria was associated with higher rates of preterm (odds ratio [OR] 1.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07-2.92) and early preterm delivery (OR 2.63, 95% CI: 1.12-6.2), and with a requirement for renal replacement therapy at 3 years post-partum (OR 10.72, 95% CI: 2.58-44.47). Tubulointerstitial scarring on kidney biopsy was associated with early preterm delivery and progression to advanced CKD, independent of pre-pregnancy eGFR. Conclusion: Compared to CKD without nephrotic-range proteinuria, nephrotic-range proteinuria early in pregnancy is associated with higher rates of pre-term delivery and progression to advanced CKD.
