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

backgroundThe pathophysiologic role of exogenous granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration is reportedly linked to the progression of glomerulonephritis. However, the relationship between endogenous G-CSF overproduction and the progression of glomerulopathy has not been well investigated. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old woman presented with neutrophilia at a medical check-up and thorough examination revealed a high level of serum G-CSF. She subsequently developed mild renal dysfunction and proteinuria. Her renal biopsy showed lobulation of the glomeruli with mesangial proliferation and glomerular capillary walls with a double contour but no immune complex deposition, suggesting membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis-like glomerulopathy. Thereafter, her proteinuria levels fluctuated in parallel with the changes in her blood neutrophil count and finally reduced considerably in association with her decreased neutrophil count.

conclusionsThe unique features of this case suggest that endogenous overproduction of G-CSF could play an important role in the pathogenesis of active glomerulonephritis.
