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

Cyclosporin A (CyA) is now commonly used in the management of children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome. In order to assess nephrotoxicity related to CyA therapy, we measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) on 123 occasions in 24 children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome receiving CyA. GFR was estimated from the plasma clearance of 51chromium-EDTA every 3 months during CyA therapy of up to 27 months duration. There was a significant reduction in GFR after 3 months of CyA therapy [118 +/- 33 (SD) to 93 +/- 24 ml/min per 1.73 m2] but no further fall thereafter, although the reduction in GFR was sustained for the duration of CyA therapy. This reduction in GFR appeared to be reversible upon cessation of CyA, but careful monitoring of renal function is necessary in such patients to prevent the development of longer term nephrotoxic sequelae.
