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: Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) glomerulonephritis is associated with severe kidney failure and high morbidity and is exceedingly rare in children. The few pediatric studies published about this condition report dependency of kidney replacement therapy at presentation and partial or complete response in kidney function in a minority of cases. Case Presentation: We describe the case of a 14-year-old girl with crescentic glomerulonephritis based on double positive anti-GBM and myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies with a mitigated clinical course presenting with fatigue, anemia, and an estimated glomerular filtration rate range between 34 and 42 mL/min/1.73 m Conclusion: This ultrarare presentation highlights the need to consider determining anti-GBM antibodies and/or obtaining a kidney biopsy even in children with less severe presentations of unexplained glomerulonephritis and underlines the clinical treatment dilemma in this disease for children due to the potential long-term sequelae.
