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 48-year-old woman presented with a fever, microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, and rapid deterioration of the renal function. Pulmonary alveolar hemorrhaging and a high level of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies (700 IU/mL) were observed. Based on her medical history and positive findings of serum lupus anticoagulant, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) was suspected. A renal biopsy revealed cellular crescentic glomerulonephritis with thrombosis, suggesting anti-GBM disease with catastrophic APS. The patient was treated with pulse steroid therapy, plasma exchange, hemodialysis, and intravenous cyclophosphamide pulse therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with anti-GBM disease and APS.
