Association of Lupus Nephritis Histopathologic Classification With Venous Thromboembolism-Modification by Age at Biopsy.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionLupus nephritis (LN) is an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The risk of VTE has not been analyzed by International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society or World Health Organization LN class. Study goals were to measure VTE incidence in an LN patient cohort, to evaluate associations between VTE and LN class, and to investigate factors modifying associations between VTE and LN class.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed using Glomerular Disease Collaborative Network data. Image-confirmed VTE was compared between patients with any LN class V lesion and patients with only LN class III or IV. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Effect modification was assessed between main effect and covariates.
resultsOur cohort consisted of 534 LN patients, 310 (58%) with class III/IV and 224 (42%) with class V with or without class III/IV, including 106 with class V alone. The VTE incidence was 62 of 534 (11.6%). The odds of VTE were not significantly different between patients with class III/IV and class V in adjusted analyses (odds ratio [OR] = 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.45-1.48). An age interaction was observed (
conclusionsThe VTE incidence was similar among patients with LN classes III/IV and V, suggesting that VTE risk is not limited to class V-related nephrotic syndrome and that age may modulate LN class-specific VTE risk.
