Idiopathic Nodular Glomerulosclerosis in a Long-term Passive Smoker With Recently Diagnosed Hypertension: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Idiopathic nodular glomerulosclerosis (ING) is mostly associated with long-standing active smoking and hypertension (HTN). Herein, we present a rare case of ING in a passive smoker with recently diagnosed uncontrolled HTN. A 60-year-old white female with Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal plasma cell disorder, Skin changes (POEMS) syndrome and newly diagnosed HTN was referred because of an elevated creatinine level. She denied being an active smoker but reported long-term exposure to cigarette smoke due to living with a heavy smoking family and working as a bartender. Further investigations revealed microscopic hematuria and nephritic range proteinuria. Kidney biopsy revealed diffuse and focal nodular mesangial expansion without hypercellularity, with negative staining for amyloid, fibrillary glomerulonephritis, and immunoglobulins, leading to a diagnosis of ING. This case highlights a rare case of ING secondary to heavy passive smoking and uncontrolled HTN.
