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

backgroundPathological renal injuries after liver transplantation are multifactorial, yet the clinicopathological characteristics of glomerulonephritis presenting as nephrotic syndrome remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate its clinicopathological features, treatment, and outcomes.

methodsWe retrospectively identified 12 patients with NS who underwent kidney biopsy after liver transplantation and investigated their clinicopathological findings, treatment, and clinical course.

resultsAt the time of biopsy, the mean time after liver transplantation was 3.4 years, and mean age was 58.9 years. Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UP/UCr) were 40.1 ± 15.6 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsThe pathological findings of NS after liver transplantation in this selected cohort are heterogeneous, therefore kidney biopsy might be valuable for evaluating the condition and guiding the selection of appropriate therapeutic strategies.
