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

Anti-PLA2R antibodies (Ab) are a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). We assessed the relationship between the levels of anti-PLA2R Ab at diagnosis and different variables related to disease activity and prognosis in a western population of PMN patients. Forty-one patients with positive anti-PLA2R Ab from three nephrology departments in Israel were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were collected at diagnosis and after one year of follow-up, including serum anti-PLA2R Ab levels (ELISA) and glomerular PLA2R deposits on biopsy. Univariable statistical analysis and permutation-based ANOVA and ANCOVA tests were performed. The median [(interquartile range (IQR)) age of the patients was 63 [50-71], with 28 (68%) males. At the time of diagnosis, 38 (93%) of the patients had nephrotic range proteinuria, and 19 (46%) had heavy proteinuria (≥8 gr/24 h). The median [IQR] level of anti-PLA2R at diagnosis was 78 [35-183] RU/mL. Anti-PLA2R levels at diagnosis were correlated with 24 h proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia and remission after one year (
