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

backgroundWe aimed to validate the Japanese histological grading classification (JHGC) in our population of IgA immunoglobulin (IgAN) cases.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study at Taichung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan from January 2011 to December 2023. The process involved assessing JHGC's clinical, histological, and merged grading system. Composite renal outcomes based on glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR) were considered.

resultsThe study included 359 IgAN by renal biopsies. Kidney function at the time of biopsy was suboptimal, with average SCr of 1.3 mg/dL, eGFR of 54.0 mL/min/1.732 m

conclusionsOur study externally validated JHGC in non-Japanese IgAN. Despite applicability to our population, we recommend a new classification specifically for Taiwanese IgAN patients with increased case numbers in eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.732 m
