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

Objective: We aimed to explore the relationship between the presence and intensity of glomerular IgG deposition and the occurrence of kidney progression events in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Methods: This retrospective study encompassed a total of 1207 patients with IgAN spanning the period from 2010 to 2022, and complete follow-up data were accessible for 736 patients. The IgG intensity was categorized as follows: low-level, defined as IgG (±) and IgG (+), and high-level, defined as IgG (++) and IgG (+++). Results: We found that the IgG-positive deposited group (N = 113, 9.36%) had significantly higher levels of ESR, TC, LDL, uric acid, proteinuria, and blood glucose, and lower serum albumin level compared to the IgG-negative deposited group (N = 1094, 90.64%). In terms of pathology, the IgG-positive deposited group had a significantly higher percentage of T2 score compared to the IgG-negative deposited group ( Conclusions: The intensity of IgG deposition has been found to be associated with the progression of IgAN. Future prospective studies should provide more robust evidence on the impact of IgG deposition on kidney outcomes in patients with IgAN.
