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

backgroundIdiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) with deposits of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antigen in glomerular tissue (GAg+) but no circulating serum PLA2R antibody (SAb-) has been reported. However, little is known about the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of this subtype.

methodsA total of 74 IMN patients with GAg + identified by kidney biopsy were enrolled in this study. We categorized patients into two groups based on the presence or absence of serum PLA2R antibody. Data on clinical features, pathological features, and outcomes were collected. Kaplan-Meier analysis of complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR) comparing SAb-/GAg + and SAb+/GAg + patients. Cox proportional hazards models was used to examine factors associated with CR and PR.

resultsAmong 74 IMN patients, 14 were SAb-/GAg+. Compared with SAb+/GAg + patients, SAb-/GAg + patients presented with higher levels of albumin, lower levels of cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (all

conclusionIMN with PLA2R staining on kidney biopsy but without serum PLA2R antibody has milder clinical manifestations and a better prognosis.
