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

introductionPatients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) have elevated serum levels of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) that are bound by Gd-IgA1-specific autoantibodies in pathogenic immune complexes. Renal biopsy histopathologic features of IgA vasculitis (IgAV) with nephritis (IgAV-N) are similar to those of IgAN. Mucosal infections often are associated with clinical onset and exacerbation in both diseases. We investigated whether patients with IgAV-N share pathogenic characteristics of IgAN.

methodsWe generated IgA1- and IgG-secreting cell lines from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-immortalized cells of patients with IgAV without nephritis (IgAV-woN), IgAV-N, and IgAN and from healthy individuals. Sera and cell-culture supernatants were used for analysis of Gd-IgA1 and Gd-IgA1-specific IgG autoantibodies.

resultsIgA1-producing cells from patients with IgAV-N, like cells from patients with IgAN, secreted more Gd-IgA1 than did cells from patients with IgAV-woN or healthy control subjects, in agreement with elevated serum Gd-IgA1 levels in patients with IgAV-N and IgAN. IgA1-producing cells from patients with IgAV-N had altered expression of genes involved in

conclusionSerum levels and cellular production of Gd-IgA1 and Gd-IgA1-specific IgG autoantibodies were elevated in patients with IgAV-N, supporting the hypothesis that IgAV-N and IgAN share pathogenic features.
