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

A 60-year-old man presented with nephrotic syndrome (NS). Light microscopy of renal biopsy specimens showed minor glomerular abnormalities, while immunofluorescence microscopy revealed solitary polyclonal granular IgA deposition along the glomerular capillary walls. Electron microscopy showed small amounts of electron-dense deposits in the subepithelial area, but not in the mesangial area. In this patient, apparent underlying disease was not found during the 3-year follow-up, and low-dose prednisolone was effective in the treatment of NS. To our knowledge, there is only one case report of membranous nephropathy with clinicopathological features similar to our case.
