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

backgroundIgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by predominant mesangial IgA deposition. Some patients with IgAN demonstrate IgA deposition in glomerular peripheral capillaries (cap-IgA). The clinicopathological significance of cap-IgA remains incompletely investigated in children.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 503 consecutive cases of biopsy-proven childhood IgAN between July 1976 and June 2013 to compare clinical and pathological features between IgAN patients with and without cap-IgA.

resultsAmong the 503 patients, 30 (6.0%) had cap-IgA. We found significant differences in proteinuria (2.0 vs. 0.5 g/day/m

conclusionsCap-IgA is associated with acute inflammation with GBM changes, resulting in refractory heavier proteinuria. Cap-IgA may represent a poor prognostic factor.
