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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the distribution characteristics of the peripheral blood B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) in children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome (FRNS), explore its dynamic changes before and after glucocorticoid therapy, and evaluate its potential value as a biomarker for predicting FRNS.

methods35 newly diagnosed children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) admitted to Xuzhou Medical University Affiliated Hospital from September 2024 to September 2025 were divided into the FRNS group (

resultsBefore glucocorticoid treatment, compared with the NFRNS group, the FRNS group showed significantly increased IGH gene usage bias, shorter CDR-H3 length, higher SHM, and decreased BCR repertoire diversity (all

conclusionCharacteristics of the IGH repertoire in FRNS patients, especially the Shannon index, may serve as potential biomarkers for early risk stratification and personalized treatment of PNS in children.
