IgA Nephropathy in Salvador, Brazil. Clinical and laboratory presentation at diagnosis.

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
introductionIgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent primary glomerulopathy in the world, but great variation is reported in different countries. In Brazil, the reported prevalence is high in the Southeastern States and low in Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil.
objectivesThis study investigated the clinical and histological patterns of patients with IgAN in Salvador, Brazil.
methodsThis is a descriptive study that included all patients with a diagnosis of IgAN performed in native kidney biopsies collected from referral nephrology services of public hospitals in Salvador between 2010 and 2015. Results: Thirty-two cases of IgAN were identified, corresponding to 6% of primary glomerulopathies. There was a slight male predominance (56%) and the median age was 30 [22-40] years. Hematuria was present in 79%, non-nephrotic proteinuria was present in 61%, and hypertension was present in 69% of patients. Segmental sclerosis (S1 lesions) was present in 81% of cases, and chronic tubulo-interstitial lesions (T1 and T2 lesions) were present in 44% of cases. Patients with M1 and T2 MEST-C scores exhibited higher serum urea and creatinine than other patients.
conclusionThe prevalence of IgAN was lower in Salvador than other regions of Brazil. Chronic histological lesions and laboratory markers of severe disease were frequent. M1 and T2 MEST-C scores were correlated with markers of renal dysfunction.
