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.
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
Autoimmune diseases are sometimes associated with immune-mediated renal diseases and cryoglobulinemia is one of the causes. Cryoglobulinemia and cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome are most frequent condition among non-hepatitis C virus-related condition. Its typical renal manifestation shows high amount of proteinuria with microscopic hematuria and renal insufficiency. We describe a case of 72-year-old woman with Hashimoto disease, autoimmune hepatitis, Sjögren's syndrome, and immune-related pancytopenia complicated by cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis. Before kidney biopsy, tubulointerstitial nephritis probably due to Sjögren's syndrome was suspected because of persistent hematuria without significant proteinuria and developing mild renal dysfunction over 6 months. The developing renal dysfunction associated with isolated hematuria is uncommon in glomerular diseases. Kidney biopsy, however, revealed established membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with subendothelial deposits consisting of tubular structures with IgM, IgG, and C3 staining. Corticosteroids plus mycophenolate mofetil therapy successfully normalized renal function. Physician should not overlook cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis, which is potentially poor prognosis, even if urinalysis shows only persistent isolated hematuria in patients with autoimmune diseases.
