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

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been seen in patients hospitalized with a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection,but the pathophysiology of glomerular injury is not yet fully understood. We present a case of COVID-19-related "glomerular endotheliosis" in which a 51-year-old female with a 13-year history of class IV lupus nephritis was admitted for COVID-19 pneumonia. Her lupus nephritis had been in complete renal remission for the past 10 years with a baseline serum creatinine level of 1.3 mg/dL and no proteinuria. Her serological workup, including complement levels, was unremarkable. Due to the worsening renal function and persistent proteinuria, she underwent a kidney biopsy that revealed diffuse glomerular endothelial cell swelling, also known as glomerular endotheliosis. Her clinical course unfortunately deteriorated and she succumbed to acute respiratory distress syndrome. As circulating anti-angiogenic factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction leading to glomerular endotheliosis, we propose that a similar circulating antiangiogenic factor may have been triggered by COVID-19 and played a role in our patient's progressive renal failure.
