The application of podocyte antigen PLA2R and anti-PLA2R antibody in the diagnosis and treatment of membranous nephropathy.

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
backgroundThe application of podocyte antigen M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R, GAg) and serum anti-PLA2R antibody (SAb) in predicting the prognosis of membrane nephropathy (MN) was controversial.
method328 biopsy-proven MN patients were divided into three phenotypes, 182 MN patients with GAg+/SAb+, 118 MN patients with GAg+/SAb-, and 28 MN patients with GAg-/SAb-. The baseline clinicopathological characteristics, therapy response, and prognosis were compared among the three groups. Cox regression analysis was performed to assess predictors of remission. Anti-PLA2R antibody was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve to find the optimal titer for MN diagnosis.
resultLower eGFR (
conclusionGAg+/SAb+ MN patients were related to more severe clinical manifestations and more requisition of immunosuppressive treatment. Positive anti-PLA2R antibody was an independent predictor for no remission. An anti-PLA2R antibody above 2.055 RU/mL can be a suggestive indicator of MN diagnosis in patients with proteinuria.
