Global and national public awareness and interest in glomerular diseases from 2004 to 2024.

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
Background: Glomerular diseases significantly impact global health. This study investigated public interest in five common glomerular diseases. Methods: Google Trends™ were used to analyze search activity from January 2004 to December 2024 for IgA nephropathy (IgAN), membranous glomerulonephritis (MN), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), lupus nephritis (LN), and diabetic nephropathy (DN). Data were retrieved both globally and in English-speaking countries, including the United States. Monthly and yearly relative search activity were assessed and compared. Results: Globally, IgAN had the highest average relative search activity, followed by DN, FSGS, LN, and MN. Both IgAN and FSGS exhibited declining trends, while LN showed an upward pattern. MN and DN experienced a modest decline before 2016, preceded by a slight increase. Among English-speaking countries, search interest was predominantly concentrated in five countries, primarily including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, with the United States consistently ranking as the leading country. For IgAN, LN, and MN, the trends observed in the United States appeared to align with global data. In contrast, search interest for FSGS exceeded global levels, while interest in DN was slightly lower than global activity. In the United States, IgAN, FSGS, and LN were most prominent in North Dakota, Massachusetts, and Delaware, respectively, while DN and MN saw peak activity in West Virginia. Conclusion: Public engagement with glomerular diseases has not uniformly grown, at least in English-speaking countries, emphasizing the need for enhanced awareness efforts. Future analysis should prioritize search terms in the predominant language of each country.
