A case report of immunoglobulin M nephropathy manifesting as crescentic glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome in an adult.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 nature of immunoglobulin M (IgM) nephropathy has been controversial for a long time, but it is now considered an independent disease like immunoglobulin A nephropathy. IgM nephropathy has been known to have various clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic hematuria and/or proteinuria to nephrotic syndrome. Recently, one case of IgM nephropathy manifesting as crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN) was reported in a child. CASE PRESENTATION: We experienced a case of IgM nephropathy that manifested clinically as nephritic and nephrotic syndrome with pathologically confirmed crescentic GN in a 30-year-old woman. We administered a calcineurin inhibitor and corticosteroids to treat the ongoing nephrotic syndrome after remission of crescentic GN. As a result, her proteinuria was significantly reduced and edema improved.
conclusionsWe described a case of IgM nephropathy in an adult patient who initially developed crescentic GN with nephritic and nephrotic syndrome. This case report could contribute to a deeper understanding of IgM nephropathy.
