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

backgroundParaneoplastic glomerulonephritis is rare in haematological malignancies and tends to manifest as minimal change disease, membranous glomerulonephritis or membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. We present the first report of immunoglobulin A nephropathy and associated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in a patient with asymptomatic low grade B-cell lymphoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53 year old gentleman presented with nephrotic range proteinuria (urine protein creatinine ratio of 662 mg/mmol) on a background of type 2 diabetes mellitus (glycosylated haemoglobin: < 6%), hypertension, obesity (body mass index: 47.6 kg/m

conclusionParaneoplastic immunoglobulin A nephropathy can occur with a broad range of haematological malignancies regardless of stage. This case illustrates the importance of meticulous haematological system work-up for patients presenting with immunoglobulin A nephropathy. Recognition of paraneoplastic immunoglobulin A nephropathy and early diagnosis of associated malignancy can be life-saving.
