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

backgroundComplement component 3 (C3) glomerulopathy, which includes dense deposit disease (DDD) and C3 glomerulonephritis, is caused by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway. In most cases, C3 glomerulopathy manifests pathologically with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis-like features. An association between C3 glomerulopathy and monoclonal gammopathy was recently reported in several cases, raising the possibility that C3 glomerulopathy is the underlying pathological process in monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance. CASE PRESENTATION: We herein report a case of monoclonal gammopathy-induced DDD that improved histologically and clinically with chemotherapy including bortezomib. Our case is the first in which treatment response can be linked to the histological response. Potential pathological insights are also discussed.

conclusionsRapid and efficient chemotherapy has the potential to limit renal damage in monoclonal gammopathy-associated DDD.
