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

objectiveTo investigate the demographic and clinicopathological features and renal outcomes of Chinese patients with C3 glomerulonephritis in the setting of monoclonal gammopathy.

methodsPatients with renal biopsy-proven C3 glomerulonephritis and detectable serum and/or urine monoclonal immunoglobulin from 2006 to 2018 in Peking University First Hospital were included, their clinical data, renal pathology type, treatment, and prognosis were collected and analyzed.

resultsNineteen patients were enrolled, accounting for 24% of C3GN patients in the study period. The mean age of onset was 55 years old and the gender ratio was 4/15 (female/male). The mean eGFR at biopsy was 49.55 ± 29.81 ml/min/1.73m

conclusionsThis is the first case series report of C3GN combined with monoclonal Ig in northern China. The renal prognosis of these patients is poor, and immunosuppressant therapies show no advantage over supportive therapy in renal prognosis, while the benefit of clone-targeted chemotherapy is still requiring investigation.
