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

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide, characterized by IgA deposits in the glomerular mesangium. It has a progressive nature and can eventually lead to end-stage kidney failure. It can occur as a potential side effect of treatment with tumor necrosis factor alpha antagonist that has been used for numerous chronic inflammatory conditions, such as Crohn's disease. In this study, the case of a 33-year-old man with renal dysfunction, nephrotic proteinuria, and erythrocyturia is described. He had had a history of Crohn's disease for 8 years and had been treated with adalimumab for the past 7 years. The diagnosis of IgAN was confirmed by kidney biopsy. After discontinuance of adalimumab and the induction of corticosteroid therapy, he made a remarkable recovery. Four years after the first presentation of IgAN and discontinuation of adalimumab, his renal function was normal with no proteinuria and only mild erythrocyturia.
