Lupus Nephritis: New and Emerging Biologic and Targeted Therapies.
Review in BioDrugs : clinical immunotherapeutics, biopharmaceuticals and gene therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a polyclonal systemic autoimmunity directed against nuclear and other self-antigens. SLE/LN affects mostly females during childbearing age, which puts them at risk for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular disease, and pregnancy complications. The current management of LN involves the use of drugs with significant toxicities, and despite many attempts at novel drug interventions, the overall treatment efficacy has remained low. In this article, we discuss recent drug approvals and the upcoming pipeline of novel medications tested in clinical trials to improve effectiveness in terms of LN disease activity, LN relapse, and progression of LN-related CKD. In this context, we discuss (1) drugs with the potential to achieve these treatment goals by modulating SLE activity as the driving force for LN (e.g., belimumab, obinutuzumab, anifrolumab, and others); (2) drugs with SLE-non specific renoprotective effects by targeting non-immune mechanisms of LN progression (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin); and (3) drugs with dual immunosuppressive and antiproteinuric effects (voclosporin). Increasing the number of possible drug options will help to improve the management of LN in terms of efficacy and safety, and enable a more personalized treatment approach.
