Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody-Associated Glomerulonephritis as a Complication of Home Parenteral Nutrition.
Article in Case reports in nephrology and dialysis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patients on long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) occasionally develop glomerulonephritis due to chronic central venous catheter (CVC)-related infection. Most previously reported cases were membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). This is a case report of a 16-year-old girl receiving HPN for short bowel syndrome. After 11 years on HPN, she developed acute kidney injury with macroscopic hematuria, nephrotic-range proteinuria, and a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Initially, MPGN associated with chronic bacteremia was suspected with the assumption that the condition would be treated with antibiotics and CVC replacement. However, her kidney biopsy revealed antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis (AAG). This was consistent with the fact that the patient tested positive for proteinase 3-ANCA. Immunosuppressive therapy with methylprednisolone pulses (followed by oral prednisone) and rituximab led to remission. Her GFR and protein excretion returned to normal. Chronic bacteremia as a complication of long-term HPN may cause various types of glomerulonephritis including, rarely, AAG requiring immunosuppressive therapy.
