Hepatitis B-Associated Lupus-Like Glomerulonephritis Successfully Treated With Antiretroviral Drugs and Prednisone: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Kidney involvement with hepatitis B virus is varied and mostly limited to nephrotic syndrome with membranous nephropathy and nephritic syndrome with membranous proliferative glomerulonephritis. Lupus nephritis is associated with nephritic or nephrotic range proteinuria with most common finding of sub-endothelial electron-dense deposits and immunological stain demonstrating full-house picture with all immunological marker staining. Our case discusses a young male patient presenting with rapidly worsening renal function along with proteinuria, found to be positive for both hepatitis B core antibody along with hepatitis B surface antibody plus positive anti-neutrophilic antibody but negative anti-double-stranded DNA. Kidney biopsy demonstrated hepatitis B-associated lupus-like glomerulonephritis. He responded successfully with antiretroviral therapy and high-dose prednisone. Patient did not need lupus-specific treatment and recovered with antiretroviral therapy only. Hepatitis B-associated lupus-like glomerulonephritis has rarely been reported and possess a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to all nephrologists.
