Real-Life Outcome of Lupus Nephritis with Current Therapies: Study Protocol of a Multicentre Observational Study.
Article in Mediterranean journal of rheumatology, 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
Lupus nephritis (LN) affects a significant proportion of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is characterised by increased morbidity and mortality. The updated joint EULAR/European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) recommendations for the management of LN have set as target of therapy the optimisation (preservation or improvement) of kidney function, accompanied by a reduction in proteinuria of at least 25% by 3 months, 50% by 6 months, and below 500-700 mg/g by 12 months (complete clinical response). It is currently unknown what proportion of Greek patients with LN reach these proposed targets with the current available treatments. At the same time, recent successful phase 3 trials have led to the approval of both belimumab and voclosporin for the treatment of patients with LN and have steered discussions as to whether the "induction-maintenance" paradigm should be substituted by an early combination treatment for all patients. To inform future therapeutic decisions and facilitate the positioning of these new drugs in the therapeutic algorithm of LN, the current study protocol aims to map the unmet needs in the treatment of LN in Greece, by quantifying the proportion of patients who attain the recommended treatment targets in everyday clinical practice.
