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

backgroundProliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is a rare entity first described in 2004. We present a case of PGNMID with recurrent hematuria and nephrotic range proteinuria with three biopsies over 46 years. CASE PRESENTATION: A 79-year-old Caucasian female presents with a history of two separate episodes of biopsy-proven recurrent GN over a course of 46 years. Both biopsies from 1974, and 1987 were reported as membranoproliferative GN (MPGN). The patient presented in 2016 for the third time with symptoms of fluid overload, slight worsening in renal function, and proteinuria along with glomerular hematuria. A third kidney biopsy was performed, and the final diagnosis was proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG/κ deposits.

conclusionWith three renal biopsies obtained over 46 years, our case opens a unique window into the natural history of PGNMID. The three biopsies demonstrate the immunologic and morphologic evolution of PGNMID in the kidney.
