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

IgA nephropathy, the most prevalent form of primary glomerular disease, usually portends a favourable outcome. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) have been reported in association with IgA nephropathy in a small subset of patients, mostly presenting with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and necrotising crescentic lesions. Herein, we describe a case of IgA nephropathy, positive serum cytoplasmic and perinuclear ANCAs with anti-myeloperoxidase antibody, and preserved renal function without any histological evidence of necrotising or crescentic glomerulonephritis. Based on available mechanistic and clinical data, we opine that such patients could benefit from close monitoring of renal function.
