Epidemiology of rehabilitation practices for inpatients with nephrotic syndrome: a retrospective cohort study using an administrative database.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2026. 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
introductionThe clinical characteristics of patients with nephrotic syndrome undergoing in-hospital rehabilitation are not well-understood, and the effects of exercise on acute kidney injury (AKI) or venous thromboembolism (VTE) in this population remain unclear.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using a nationwide Japanese administrative claims database. We examined the clinical background of patients aged ≥ 18 years with nephrotic syndrome who underwent in-hospital rehabilitation. In a subgroup analysis of patients with nephrotic syndrome hospitalized for 14-90 days, we assessed the associations between rehabilitation intensity or early initiation and the development of AKI and VTE, as well as changes in activities of daily living (ADL), using multivariate logistic regression. Several sensitivity analyses were performed to confirm the robustness of the results.
resultsAmong the 6989 patients with nephrotic syndrome who were hospitalized for ≥ 7 days, 1447 (20.7%) received rehabilitation. Factors associated with rehabilitation included older age, female sex, AKI, cerebrovascular disease, use of intravenous corticosteroids, anticoagulants, diuretics, hypoglycemic drugs, and longer hospital stay. In the subgroup analysis, no statistically significant association was detected between rehabilitation intensity or early initiation and the development of VTE, AKI, or improvements in ADL during hospitalization.
conclusionsWe described the clinical characteristics of patients with nephrotic syndrome who received in-hospital rehabilitation. In patients with nephrotic syndrome, no statistically significant association was detected between rehabilitation intensity or early initiation and the risk of VTE or AKI. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation in patients with nephrotic syndrome.
