Discordance of light chain isotypes between serum and glomerular deposits in proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in BMC nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundProliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG) deposits (PGNMID) is a disease entity with nonorganized granular glomerular deposition with monoclonal proteins of both heavy and light chains. Dysproteinemia was observed in only 30% of the patients with PGNMID. We herein report a case of PGNMID with discrepancy between serum and glomerular deposits. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 50-year-old man who had been followed at a local clinic due to hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, fatty liver, and obesity. Proteinuria had been noted five years previously, and he had been referred to a hematology department due to hyperproteinemia, high gamma globulin, and κ Bence-Jones protein (BJP) positivity one year previously. Bone marrow aspiration showed 5% plasma cells, and he was referred to the nephrology department to evaluate persistent proteinuria. He was hypertensive, and his estimated glomerular filtration rate was 54.2 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsWe experienced a case of membranous nephropathy-type PGNMID with discrepancy in light chains between serum and kidney that was successfully treated with oral prednisolone.
