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
Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) G deposits (PGNMID) is a relatively uncommon entity of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance, and its detailed pathogenesis is not well understood. We, herein, report two cases of patients with PGNMID; their renal biopsy showed glomerular histological features of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis pattern with endocapillary proliferation accompanied by non-organized granular electron-dense deposits that consisted of monoclonal IgG3-lambda. Neither symptomatic episodes of preceding infection nor infection foci were found in both patients; however, glomerular positive staining for nephritis-associated plasmin receptor (NAPlr) and related plasmin activity were observed. Although NAPlr was originally considered as a candidate nephritogenic protein for post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis, its positive staining and related plasmin activity have been observed in glomeruli of various cases with bacterial infection-related glomerulonephritis and is considered to be a general histological biomarker of infection-related glomerulonephritis. The present cases suggest that evaluation of immunoreactivity for NAPlr and related plasmin activity in glomeruli provides an important clue regarding the infection-related pathogenesis of PGNMID.
