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: This study aimed to describe the clinical course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients with glomerular diseases (GDs) and its impact on the probability of relapse. Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven GD and positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 from glomerular clinics across Greece were studied retrospectively. Those who received the GD diagnosis after the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or ended in ESKD prior to infection were excluded. Demographics, histopathological diagnoses, past medical history, immunosuppression, and GD activity status were recorded. Results: A total of 219 patients with GDs and documented SARS-CoV-2 infection were included. The mean time from the diagnostic kidney biopsy to SARS-CoV-2 infection was 67.6 ( ± 59.3) months. Among the participants, 82.5% had been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 with three doses (range: 2.5-3) without subsequent GD reactivation in 96.2% of them. Twenty-two patients (10%) were hospitalized for COVID-19 and one (0.5%) required mechanical ventilation. Four (1.8%) died due to COVID-19 and one (0.5%) had long COVID-19 symptoms. Among patients in remission prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection, 22 (11.2%) experienced a GD relapse within 2.2 (range: 1.5-3.7) months from the diagnostic test. The relapse-free survival after COVID-19 was significantly shorter for patients with minimal change disease, pauci-immune glomerulonephritis, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. No difference was observed in the relapse-free survival post-COVID-19 based on the history of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection appears to have a symptomatic but uncomplicated sequence in vaccinated patients with GDs, with a significant impact on the clinical course of GD, associated with an increased probability of relapse in certain histopathological types.
