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

backgroundMembranous nephropathy (MN) represents two distinct disease entities. Primary MN is now recognized as an autoimmune condition associated with the anti-PLA

methodsPatients from three UK centres with a diagnosis of MN between 2009 and 2014 were identified. We compared patients who had a positive anti-PLA

resultsIn total, 184 patients were included: 80 had no test, 66 had a negative anti-PLA

conclusionsSince its introduction, a progressively higher proportion of patients diagnosed with MN had an anti-PLA
