Crescentic postinfectious glomerulonephritis in an adult patient with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Crescentic glomerulonephritis is usually associated with an acute nephritic syndrome with rapidly declining renal function. Postinfectious cases usually have a higher possibility of recovery. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, locally aggressive tumour affecting mostly young men. A 28-year-old man presented with recurrent JNA initially excised 2 years prior. The patient was initially managed as a case of airway obstruction and pneumonia. He developed tea-coloured urine, oedema and acute kidney failure requiring dialysis while awaiting surgery. Urine and immunological studies (low C3, negative antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody and antinucleosomal antibody and high antistreptolysin O) suggested a nephritic aetiology. Nasopharyngeal swab cultures of the mass revealed gram-negative organisms. Kidney biopsy showed diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis compatible with a postinfectious glomerulonephritis with 77% cellular crescents. The mass was excised with histopathology consistent with JNA. The patient was eventually discharged off dialysis.
