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

We performed a kidney biopsy in a 36-year-old man to evaluate microscopic hematuria and proteinuria. Light microscopy showed increased mesangial matrix and partial swelling of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), and immunofluorescence showed positive staining only for C3. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that gold particle-labeled C3 was localized in the electron-dense and moderately electron-dense deposits shown by electron microscopy in the mesangium, the thickened GBM near the paramesangium, and the thickened distal portion of the GBM but was not localized in the non-thickened GBM. Gold-labeled immunoglobulin G, κ, and λ were not seen. C3 glomerulonephritis was more evident in gold-labeled electron microscopy, which further clarified the localization of C3 deposition.
