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

Introduction: The role of iron in, and the prognosis of, pediatric Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) with macrohematuria (MH)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) (MH-AKI) have not been evaluated. Thirty percent of adults with MH-AKI, and especially those who are older, show progression to chronic kidney disease. Methods: We evaluated the immunohistopathologic characteristics of renal biopsy samples from pediatric patients with MH-AKI IgAN and controls, using Berlin Blue to identify iron, CD163 (a hemoglobin-scavenging receptor), and CD68 (a total macrophage marker), then compared the findings against the clinical characteristics of the patients. Results: We enrolled 44 children as follows: 19 with IgAN but no MH or AKI; 5 with IgAN and MH but no AKI (MH Conclusion: Children with IgAN and MH, with or without AKI, showed considerable iron deposition in their renal tubules. CD163-positive cells might scavenge hemoglobin in patients with MH-AKI IgAN, but not their roles as macrophages. The renal prognosis of pediatric MH-AKI IgAN is good.
