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

Overlap between acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and glomerulonephritis is uncommon and diagnostically challenging. We present the first pediatric case of clinically diagnosed immunoglobulin A vasculitis nephritis (IgAV-N) concurrent with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced AIN. A 14-year-old boy was hospitalized for recurrent gastroenteritis, purpura, and arthralgia treated with ibuprofen. After 5 days, he developed stage 3 acute kidney injury, subnephrotic proteinuria, hypertension, and oligoanuria. Kidney biopsy showed mild to moderate interstitial inflammation with tubulitis; immunofluorescence was negative for glomerular IgA, with nonspecific tubular C3 staining. After NSAID discontinuation, 10 dialysis sessions, and corticosteroids, kidney function recovered completely within 3 months. To support the clinical lesson highlighted by our case, we conducted a systematic review of biopsy-confirmed AIN-glomerulonephritis overlap. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched for biopsy-confirmed AIN with concurrent glomerulonephritis. Clinical features, etiologies, treatments, and outcomes were extracted. Systematic review identified 8 studies (12 patients). Drug-related AIN predominated (9 of 12), followed by infection (2 of 12) and autoimmune disease (1 of 12). Nephrotic-range proteinuria was described in 6, hematuria in 8, and hypersensitivity findings in 7 of the 12 patients. Complete recovery occurred in 7 and partial recovery in 3 patients, and dialysis was required in 2 of the 12 patients. NSAID-induced AIN concurrent with IgA vasculitis nephritis should be suspected in atypical acute kidney injury.
