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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease. It has a myriad of presentations and can involve almost every organ. Its effects on the kidney hold critical importance because patients can ultimately progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if inadequately treated. There are many published cases of collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) in patients with SLE. However, there are not many cases reported of both SLE-related CG and lupus nephritis. Based on our review of the medical literature, fewer than 25 cases have been written about this finding. There are no guidelines to manage these types of patients. Lupus causing CG poses particular challenges in terms of management, particularly treatment options. We present a case of a 47-year-old female who was found to have biopsy findings of both CG and lupus nephritis.
