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

purposeWe aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of serum anti-PLA2R and glomerular PLA2R deposit (gPLA2R) in predicting remission of proteinuria in Primary Membranous Nephropathy (PMN) patients.

methodsPUBMED, EMBASE, WEB OF SCIENCE, COCHRANE LIBRARY and CNKI were searched from 2008 January to December 2018. Heterogeneity was assessed by Cochran Q test and I

resultsTotally 2345 patients from 29 cohort studies were eligible for inclusion. The results suggested that PMN patients with negative anti-PLA2R at the time of biopsy had a 1.31 times (95% CI 1.12-1.46, p < 0.05) higher possibility in achieving remission than those with positive anti-PLA2R. The clearance of anti-PLA2R at the end of immunosuppressive therapy showed an even greater chance of achieving remission (RR = 2.86, 95% CI 1.75-4.69, p < 0.05). The relative ratios for complete remission and spontaneous remission with negative anti-PLA2R were 1.65 (95% CI 1.46-1.87, p < 0.05) and 1.93, respectively (95% CI 1.53-2.45, p < 0.05), and heterogeneity percentages were I

conclusionsNegative anti-PLA2R or gPLA2R might predict higher possibility of remission, and the presence of anti-PLA2R or gPLA2R might serve as a useful biomarker for clinical outcome and predicting response to immunosuppressive therapy in PMN.
