Nephrotic syndrome with concurrent effusion from a different cause: A case series.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. 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
The nephrotic syndrome presents clinically with anasarca characterized by peripheral edema, ascites, pleural effusion, or rarely pericardial effusions. The anasarca disappears with adequate diuretic therapy if there is no diuretic resistance or with disease remission. However, these patients may sometimes experience persistent unusual fluid collection in the third space, viz. peritoneal cavity, pleural cavity, and pericardial cavity, despite adequate diuretic response or disease remission, which may be because of coexisting different etiology that is leading to unusual fluid collection. This case series aims to describe two infective (tubercular) and three non-infective (structural diaphragmatic defect, liver cirrhosis, and chylous ascites) etiologies of persistent effusion in five patients of nephrotic syndrome despite achieving disease remission or adequate diuresis, the diagnostic challenges faced, and the importance of early detection for timely intervention.
