Diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis in a patient with COVID-19 infection.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
COVID-19 primarily presents with respiratory involvement. Extrapulmonary manifestations as the sole manifestation also occur although rare. The kidney, being one of the organs with the greatest number of ACE receptors, is usually reported as part of multiorgan involvement. We report an early adolescent boy who presented with nephrotic-nephritic syndrome with severe kidney dysfunction from COVID-19 infection. He had low C3 and undetected antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, antinuclear antibody and antistreptolysin O. Kidney biopsy revealed findings consistent with diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with a focal glomerular crescent formation and thin basement nephropathy. Due to the rapidly progressive deterioration of kidney function, he was given pulse methylprednisolone therapy followed by oral prednisone. Complete recovery was documented 12 weeks after the onset of post-infectious glomerulonephritis. The possible pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis in a patient with COVID-19, its differential diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
