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

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide and a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and renal failure. However, the Bulgarian population has limited epidemiological data and biomarkers for IgAN. In this retrospective monocentric analysis, we investigated all the patients with biopsy-proven IgAN over 10 years in a tertiary Bulgarian institution. From the analysis of 762 kidney biopsies, the diagnosis of primary IgAN was established in 125, with an average age of 35.94 ± 11.91 years. Our study aimed to assess the clinical characteristics, histological features, and potential biomarkers of IgAN in the Bulgarian population. We evaluated parameters such as proteinuria, hematuria, serum creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In fifty IgAN patients and 30 healthy controls, serum levels of Gd-IgA1, IgA, C3, BAFF, and APRIL using ELISA were examined. The results revealed significant differences in serum concentrations of Gd-IgA1 (
