Demographics and treatment of patients with primary membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in Japan using a national registry of clinical personal records.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it

Abstract
backgroundMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a rare glomerular injury that causes nephrotic syndrome and end-stage kidney disease. The nationwide demographics and treatment of Japanese patients with primary MPGN have not yet been reported.
methodsWe collected clinical personal records of patients with primary MPGN between 2015 and 2018 from the national registry organized by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare and investigated the characteristics of primary MPGN throughout Japan.
resultsOf 258 patients with primary MPGN, 199 and 59 showed nephrotic and non-nephrotic syndrome, respectively. The median age at onset was higher in patients with nephrotic syndrome than in those with non-nephrotic syndrome (45 [24-63] vs. 35 [14-53] years, respectively; P = 0.010). The use of oral prednisolone was significantly higher in patients with nephrotic syndrome than in those with non-nephrotic syndrome (73.9% vs. 59.3%, respectively; P = 0.032). When patients were divided into three age groups: adolescent and young adult group (≤ 39 years; n = 80), middle adult group (40-64 years; n = 111), and older adult group (≥ 65 years; n = 67), the use of oral prednisolone, cyclosporine, and mizoribine was significantly higher in the adolescent and young adult group than in the middle adult group. The mean dosage of oral prednisolone and mizoribine showed no differences among the three age groups.
conclusionThe national registry of clinical personal records of primary MPGN could provide an informative insight into the characteristics, clinical features, and treatment approaches for patients with primary MPGN in Japan.
