Profile and primary treatment outcomes in membranous nephropathy.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo assess the clinical profile and primary treatment response and outcomes in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) patients.
methodsThis study was carried out between December 2013 and January 2019 in a tertiary care hospital in North India on 2 years retrospective and 3 years prospective renal biopsy proven patients with IMN presenting with nephrotic syndrome. Basic baseline investigations carried out were urinary proteins, serum albumin, serum creatinine, other special tests wherever necessary or possible (including phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies), and different treatment regimens were offered for treatment. The patients were followed up for a minimum period of 6 months after administration of treatment.
resultsThe study was carried out in 120 patients with mean age of 43±14.6 years and male female ratio of 1.65:1. Hypertension was noted in 36%, microscopic hematuria in 13%, and mean 24 hours urinary proteinuria 10.5±3.1 gm. Complete or partial response at 6 months was observed in 57% and 34% cases to cyclophosphamide, 60% and 40% to modified Ponticelli treatment, 81% and 19% to tacrolimus, and 40% and 36% cases to rituximab. Relapse was observed in 6% of cyclophosphamide and 13% in tacrolimus groups.
conclusionOur results show a good and comparable response to cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and rituximab at 6 months of follow up. The cases which achieved complete remission had significantly lower baseline proteinuria compared to those who did not respond.
