Anti-DFS70 Antibodies Are Associated With Proliferative Lupus Nephritis and Renal Pathological Activity.

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
Objective: The significance of anti-dense fine speckles 70 (DFS70) antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is still unclear, especially in lupus nephritis (LN) patients. We investigated the prevalence, clinical and pathological relevance of anti-DFS70 antibodies in LN patients. Methods: Anti-DFS70 antibodies were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in 377 biopsy-proven LN patients, 268 non-LN SLE patients, 232 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and 78 healthy individuals (HI). Demographic, clinical, and pathological parameters were compared between LN patients with and without anti-DFS70 antibodies. Stepwise multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify covariates associated with anti-DFS70 antibodies. Results: The prevalence of anti-DFS70 antibodies in LN (19.6%) was comparable to non-LN SLE patients (19.8%, Conclusion: Anti-DFS70 antibodies were not associated with LN development in SLE patients but were associated with anti-dsDNA antibodies, proliferative LN, and renal AI. This suggests their potential to serve as a non-histological biomarker for LN subclass and activity status.
