IgA nephropathy in a child with X-linked agammaglobulinemia: a case report.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundX-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a primary immunodeficiency disease caused by mutations in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene. Individuals diagnosed with XLA are at an increased risk of developing autoimmune diseases. However, renal involvement are rare in cases of XLA. CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we discussed a specific case involving a 6-year-old boy with XLA who experienced recurrent upper respiratory tract infections since the age of one. He presented with symptoms of hematuria and proteinuria, and renal pathology confirmed the presence of immunoglobulin (Ig) A nephropathy. Treatment comprised glucocorticoids, mycophenolate mofetil, and intermittent intravenous immunoglobulin replacement therapy. Consequently, there was a remission of proteinuria and a partial improvement in hematuria.
conclusionsIn this study, we describe the first case of IgA nephropathy associated with XLA. This is an interesting phenotype found in XLA, and it provides valuable insights into the process of autoimmunity and the regulation of immune function in individuals with XLA. Based on our findings, we recommend the evaluation of immunoglobulin levels in patients diagnosed with IgA nephropathy.
