IgA nephropathy treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common primary glomerular disease that leads to end-stage renal disease with poor therapy efficacy. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is effective in the treatment of IgAN and has the potential to become an alternative treatment for IgAN. Professor Yan-Qin Zou is a nephropathy expert, a National Chinese Medicine Master, and an heir to the Menghe School of Medicine. CASE SUMMARY: A 28-year-old man had positive urinary protein and elevated serum creatinine (Scr) results and was diagnosed with IgAN 2-3 years prior to the outpatient department visit at our hospital in 2017. Professor Zou used the following methods to treat the patient: Invigorating the spleen and tonifying the kidney, removing dampness and clearing turbidity, quickening the blood and transforming stasis, and freeing vessels and regulating collaterals. She adjusted the prescription in accordance with the patient's symptoms. After 6 mo of treatment, the symptoms had resolved and serological indexes were also decreased [Scr from 288.5 to 188.6 µmol/L, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) from 10.9 to 9.5 mmol/L, serum uric acid (UA) from 612 to 503 µmol/L]. During follow-up, BUN, Scr, and UA levels remained stable.
conclusionProfessor Zou's therapeutic strategy to treat IgAN using TCM was efficacious and a good reference for application.
