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

Renal artery stenosis is a common complication of Takayasu disease; however, the presence of nephrotic syndrome is rare. Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) is performed for renal artery stenosis; however, its efficacy is unclear for renal artery stenosis complicated with nephrotic syndrome. This is a case report of Takayasu disease in an 18-year-old woman with no relevant medical history. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed bilateral renal artery stenosis, and nephrotic syndrome was noted. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis was diagnosed based on renal biopsy. As atrophy was observed in the right kidney, PTRA was performed for the left renal artery stenosis. Urine protein levels decreased subsequently, leading to remission. Renal artery stenosis may commonly occur due to Takayasu disease; however, the resulting accentuation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade and increased intraglomerular pressure may cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. PTRA may induce remission if renal dysfunction is mild, and it should be performed as early as possible.
