Global-feature of autoimmune glomerulonephritis using proteomic analysis of laser capture microdissected glomeruli.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN), (LN), membranous nephropathy (MN), and minimal change nephropathy (MCN) are all belonged to autoimmune glomerulonephritis. This study aimed to identify the specific proteomic characteristics of the four GNs diseases in order to provide frameworks for developing the appropriate drug for patients diagnosed with GNs disease. Methods: Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was utilized to investigate proteomic features of glomerular tissues obtained by laser capture microdissection (LCM). 8 normal control cases, 11 IgAN cases, 19 LN cases, 5 MN cases, and 3 MCN cases in this study were selected for bioinformatics analyses. Results: The shared overlapping proteins among the top 100 DEPs of each GNs type were mostly downregulated, in which only FLII was significantly downregulated in the four GNs diseases. A2M was significantly upregulated in MN, IgAN, and LN subgroups. The pathway of complement and coagulation cascades was notably activated with NES value ranging 2.77 to 3.39 among MCN, MN, IgAN, and LN diseases, but the pattern of protein expression level were significantly different. In LN patients, the increased activity of complement and coagulation cascades was contributed by the high expression of multiple complements (C1QB, C3, C4A, C4B, C6, C8B, C8G, C9). Meanwhile, both C1QC and C4B were remarkably upregulated in MN patients. On the contrary, complement-regulating proteins (CD59) was substantially decreased in MCN and IgAN subgroup. Conclusions: The integrative proteomics analysis of the four GNs diseases provide insights into unique characteristics of GNs diseases and further serve as frameworks for precision medicine diagnosis and provide novel targets for drug development.
