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)-dominant infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) is mostly associated with Staphylococcal or other bacterial infections like Streptococcus and Gram-negative bacilli. Antibiotics are the cornerstone of treatment in these cases. When the bacterial infection can't be recognized or IRGN persists despite treating the underlying infection, controlling the kidney injury becomes cumbersome and lacks a strong evidence-based approach. In this report, we describe a 38-year-old male patient with a history of polysubstance abuse and chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections who presented with acute kidney injury and nephrotic syndrome due to IgA-dominant IRGN without an active concurrent bacterial infection who responded well to plasmapheresis.
