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

Light-chain proximal tubulopathy (LCPT) is typically characterized by the intracytoplasmic deposition of light chains within the proximal tubular epithelial cells, which is usually classified into crystalline and noncrystalline subgroups. Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common glomerular disease characterized by diffused subepithelial electron-dense deposits along the capillary loop accompanied by the effacement and microvillus transformation of the foot process. Here, we report a biopsy-confirmed case of a concurrence of LCPT with crystals (κ light chains restricted) and antigen-undetermined MN in a male patient. The patient presented with low-molecular-weight proteinuria, increased serum creatinine levels, and incomplete Fanconi syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a concurrence of LCPT and independent MN of unknown target antigens, which may enrich our recognition of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance with synchronous MN.
