1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sparsentan (FILSPARI™) is an oral, dual endothelin angiotensin receptor antagonist that is being developed by Travere Therapeutics for the treatment of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). In February 2023, sparsentan received accelerated approval in the USA for reducing proteinuria in adults with primary IgA nephropathy who are at risk of rapid disease progression. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of sparsentan leading to this first approval for IgA nephropathy.
