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

backgroundDespite extensive research on proteinuria's impact on chronic kidney disease progression, there is no direct comparison of outcomes in biopsy-diagnosed glomerular disease (GD) patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) or nephrotic range proteinuria (NRP). Our study addresses this gap, comparing long-term outcomes between NS and NRP.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study on 240 kidney biopsy-proven GD patients, tracked from 2010 to 2015 until end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), death, or the study end in January 2022.

resultsThe median follow-up was 8.8 years. Diagnoses were predominantly nonproliferative (53%), proliferative (25%) nephropathies, diabetic nephropathy (12%), and paraprotein diseases (10%). NS was observed in 141 (59%) patients, presenting more frequently with arterial hypertension, higher eGFR, increased proteinuria, and dyslipidemia than NRP patients. NRP patients often had proliferative GD and diabetic nephropathy; their renal chronicity score was higher. The ESKD endpoint occurred in 35% NS and 39% NRP patients (

conclusionsOur study found no difference in all-cause mortality between NS and NRP in glomerular diseases. However, an adjusted analysis revealed poorer kidney survival for NS patients, emphasizing the need for personalized management to improve renal prognoses.
