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

Several new findings emerged recently from biochemical, genetic, and molecular studies of patients with IgA nephropathy. It appears that immunoglobulin A1-secreting cells of IgA nephropathy patients produce increased amounts of aberrantly glycosylated IgA1 in which the O-linked glycans in the hinge region are deficient in the content of galactose. The galactose-deficient IgA1 in the circulation is recognized by naturally occurring antibodies with anti-glycan specificity, and immune complexes are formed. These circulating immune complexes escape hepatic degradation and eventually are deposited in the kidney mesangium. Resident mesangial cells bind the IgA-containing immune complexes with the involvement of a novel IgA receptor and become activated. A familial form of IgA nephropathy has been linked to chromosome 6q22-23. Recent progress in molecular analyses of IgA nephropathy thus defines this disease as an autoimmune process with a novel IgA mesangial receptor and certain genetically determined traits.
