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

aimTo determine the duration of relapsing childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS).

methodsIn this population-based study, we retrospectively analysed the computerised database of Israel's largest health maintenance organisation. Children (age 2-10 years) with a new INS diagnosis and a corticosteroid (CS) prescription between 2000 and 2010 were included. NS category was determined, according to CS and/or steroid-sparing agents (SSA) purchases.

resultsOut of 1 669 977 eligible children, 608 fulfilled inclusion criteria. Patients in the fourth quartile of purchases (n = 132) had an older age at last relapse (17.9 ± 6.3 vs. 11.3 ± 5.9 years, p < 0.001) and more SSA use (78.8% vs. 20%, p < 0.001) compared to the remaining three quartiles. A single episode occurred in 84 patients. Of the remaining 524 patients (males 66%, diagnosis age: 4.8 ± 2.2 years, SSA prescribed: 35%) who were followed for 15.5 ± 5.1 years, 113 (21.6%) had a continuing disease at an age of 19.3 ± 6.3 years. The leftover 411 entered long-lasting treatment-free remission at age 11.2 ± 5.7 years.

conclusionIn this multicentre study, we identified INS disease course by medication delivery. NS long-standing remission occurs at age 11.2 ± 5.7 years in most cases. However, the disease continues into adulthood in a fifth of the relapsing patients, implicating the need for proper transition to adult care.
