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

Infective endocarditis (IE) is still seen globally with acute kidney injuries remaining a common complication of the disease. Histological specimens often display either diffuse or focal endocapillary proliferation as well as neutrophilic infiltration in endocarditis-related renal disease. C3-dominant glomerulonephritis (C3GN) utilizes mechanisms of complement activation unique from IE-associated glomerulonephritis. In C3GN, micrographic review may reveal scattered accumulation of C3 fragments with subepithelial hump formation and mesangial electron-dense deposits that help solidify the diagnosis of this recently discovered pathological phenomenon. Herein, we summarize a clinical case of likely IE-related C3GN without hypocomplementemia in a patient with a single kidney to help compare and contrast the key elements of each process. A 27-year-old Hispanic man with a past medical history of nephrectomy for renal donation presented to a community hospital with a high fever and altered sensorium. A serum creatinine of 6.98 mg/dL with unknown baselines, nephrotic-range proteinuria, and severe rhabdomyolysis plus methicillin-sensitive
