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

objectivePrimary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a major cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. This study evaluates the clinical profile, treatment response, and outcomes of patients with primary FSGS at the University Medical Centre (UMC) Ljubljana, Slovenia. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients diagnosed and treated at UMC Ljubljana from 2008 to 2024 were included. Clinical, laboratory, histological, and treatment data were analyzed.

results56 patients were followed for a median of 71 months (range: 2 - 186). At diagnosis, 91.1% had nephrotic syndrome, with proteinuria of 10.2 ± 9.8 g/day, serum albumin of 23.7 ± 6.5 g/L, and estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) of 66.7 ± 27.7 mL/min/1.73m

conclusionDespite high steroid resistance, use of CNIs and rituximab improved remission rates. However, ESRD remains a significant concern, highlighting the need for early intervention and optimized treatment strategies.
