Treatment of HIV-Associated Lupus-like Membranous Nephropathy with Tacrolimus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Renal complications of HIV infection are common and histologically diverse. Besides HIV-associated nephropathy, which is the most well-defined glomerular disorder, immune-complex-mediated glomerulonephritis (HIVICK) is also encountered in the setting of HIV infection and may occasionally present with "lupus-like" features by light microscopy and immunofluorescence. Management of HIVICK remains controversial and mainly focuses on HIV viremia suppression with combined antiretroviral therapy. Immunosuppressive therapy may be used in order to mitigate the renal inflammation induced by the immune complex deposition. Data regarding the use of immunosuppressants in HIVICK are very limited, mostly including corticosteroids and mycophenolate acid analogues. Herein, we present the case of a 40-year-old HIV-infected Caucasian man with nephrotic syndrome, renal impairment, and a "lupus-like" membranous pattern in the kidney biopsy, who achieved a partial response of his proteinuria with a tacrolimus-based regimen in combination with antiretroviral therapy.
