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

backgroundThe coexistence of crescents and membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a special characteristic in lupus nephritis. In the absence of the characteristic histological features of lupus nephritis, MGN with crescents should raise the possibility of two other histopathological entities: anti-GBM disease and necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis. The last one includes patients with positive ANCA serology or not. RESULTS AND

conclusionsHere, we describe a case of a male patient who presented with extrarenal vasculitis symptoms, acute renal failure, hematuria and nephrotic-range proteinuria. ANCA serology was positive, and the biopsy revealed crescentic vasculitis plus membranous nephropathy. Reviewing the whole literature about similar histological cases, we included 38 cases with ANCA-positive serology and 30 ones with no ANCA in serum. It seems that in the first category vasculitis symptoms predominate, while in the second one these symptoms are absent. Their histological features have no major differences. In any case, the clinical course of these patients is serious, and in most cases, immunosuppression is essential in order to avoid end-stage renal disease.
