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

backgroundIgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common glomerular disease in children that may progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure. Identifying reliable prognostic markers is important for guiding clinical management. This study investigated independent predictors of poor prognosis in pediatric IgAN and their impact on eGFR slope, as well as the dynamic patterns of complete kidney remission and relapse, predictive factors associated with remission, and the influence of remission on poor prognosis.

methodsA retrospective cohort study of 224 children (aged 3-18 years) with biopsy-proven IgAN and ≥ 3 years of follow-up was enrolled. Poor prognosis was defined as persistent eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m

resultsOver a median follow-up of 5.41 years, 12.05% reached the poor prognosis. Independent risk factors included male sex, older age at biopsy, Oxford classification E1 and S1 lesions, absence of gross hematuria, and no remission of proteinuria during follow-up, while higher birth weight was protective. eGFR slope was influenced by age at biopsy, gross hematuria and proteinuria remission status during follow-up. Complete kidney remission occurred in 70.98%, with a recurrence rate of 60.38%. Predictors of complete kidney remission included antecedent infection, kidney IgM deposition of 2 + , elevated serum IgM, increased pathological casts count, and prednisone treatment, while prolonged disease duration before biopsy and higher tubular casts count were risk factors. Group comparisons and logistic regression analysis showed no significant associations between kidney remission and poor.

conclusionsPediatric IgAN shows slow disease progression over 5 years. Despite high complete kidney remission rates, recurrence remains common. These findings support extended follow-up and improved predictive models.
