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

The understanding of membranous nephropathy (MN) has undergone impressive advancements in the last 5 years, particularly due to identification of novel antigenic targets. M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) account for approximately 70% and 1-5% of the target antigens in primary MN, respectively. Recently, more novel/putative antigens have been identified in the remaining cases of MN that include exostosin 1/exostosin 2 (EXT1/EXT2), neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 protein (NELL-1), semaphorin 3B (SEMA3B) and protocadherin 7 (PCDH7). However, comparatively little is known about the PCDH7 among these novel antigens. As such, we herein described a unique case of positive glomerular PCDH7 deposits in PLA2R-associated MN, which may offer a deeper insight into the role of PCDH7 in MN and improve our understanding of glomerular diseases in the post-COVID era, particularly with the emerging variants.
