Meta-Analysis of the Effectiveness and Safety of Glucocorticoid for the Treatment of IgA Kidney Disease.
Synthesis in Journal of healthcare engineering, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: To explore the effect of glucocorticoid on immune globulin A (IgA) nephropathy by meta-analysis. Method: Search the data and literature libraries of ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Wiley, PubMed, CBMdisc, and CNKI and collect the literature on the treatment of IgA nephropathy with glucocorticoids as randomized controlled trials published at home and abroad from 1995 to 2021. The standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval ( Result: ① The overall efficacy of glucocorticoid in the treatment of IgA nephropathy was better than that in the control group ( Conclusion: The overall efficacy of glucocorticoid in the treatment of IgA nephropathy is accurate. Hormone treatment is effective for different degrees of IgA nephropathy. Considering that there is no significant effect on the efficacy of different courses of treatment, it is suggested that the course of hormone treatment can be appropriately shortened. Hormone combined with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) can reduce proteinuria more effectively than ACEI drugs alone.
