Hepatitis B Virus-related Membranous Nephropathy with Crescentic Formation in an Inactive Carrier of Positive Hepatitis B Surface Antigen with Undetectable DNA under Anti-viral Treatment.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. 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
A man who was an inactive hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs antigen) and undetectable HBV-DNA under anti-viral treatment developed nephrotic syndrome at 52 years old, and a renal biopsy revealed advanced membranous nephropathy (MN) with focal cellular crescents, interstitial hemorrhaging, and peritubular capillaritis. Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated granular IgG deposition and HBs antigen-positivity along the capillaries. Glomeruli were negative for phospholipase A2 receptor 1. There were no clinical findings of systemic vasculitis. We considered MN combined with small-vessel vasculitis due to HBV infection. These results suggest that HBV-related kidney disease should be considered even in patients with an inactive HBV carrier status under treatment.
