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

We describe a case of full-house nephropathy without any underlying disease, including systemic lupus erythematosus. A 40-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with mild proteinuria and microscopic hematuria. The patient was diagnosed with immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis with a predominant mesangioproliferative pattern based on renal histopathological results using full-house immunofluorescence staining. She showed no clinical criteria for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, except for kidney disorders, and tested negative for antinuclear antibodies throughout her clinical course. However, in the second kidney biopsy, no C1q or C4 were detected in the immunofluorescence study, suggesting an immunoglobulin A nephropathy-like pattern. The patient responded favorably to corticosteroid treatment. We found a heterozygous CFHR3-CFHR1 deletion. The association between full-house nephropathy and CFHR3-CFHR1 deletion is unknown, but its influence on the histological pattern in our case is suspected. This indicates the diversity in the pathogenesis of non-lupus full-house nephropathy and warrants further investigation.
