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

Membranous nephropathy is a glomerular disease characterized by diffuse subepithelial immune complex deposition along the glomerular basement membrane. It can be both primary and secondary to malignancy and various drugs. An emerging area of concern is heavy metal exposure from use of largely unregulated natural health products. Here we present a case of biopsy-proven membranous nephropathy due to natural health products contaminated with mercury.
