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

A recent systematic review showed that hematological malignancy is often complicated by membranous nephropathy (MN). Histologically, the deposition of IgG subclasses other than IgG4 may imply secondary MN, such as malignancy-associated MN (M-MN). We describe a very rare case of concurrent isolated IgG2-positive MN and B-cell lymphoma. An 83-year-old woman was hospitalized at our institute for facial and lower extremity edema persisting for 2 months. Laboratory tests showed urinary protein level of 10.8 g/day, serum albumin level of 1.6 g/dl, and serum creatinine level of 2.34 mg/dl. Soon after diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome, treatment with corticosteroid was initiated, but it proved to be ineffective. Renal biopsy showed isolated IgG2-positive MN with highly infiltrated CD20-positive lymphoid cells in the kidney. Computed tomography revealed systemic lymphadenopathy, and aberrant B-cells with immunoglobulin light chain restriction were detected in peripheral blood and bone marrow, which led to the diagnosis of mature B-cell lymphoma. Although rituximab (375 mg/m
