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

backgroundPatients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) are more likely to be complicated by venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of the study was to investigate the potential association between anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibodies and hypercoagulability in patients with IMN.

methodsA total of 168 patients with biopsy-proven IMN and 36 patients with biopsy-proven minimal change disease (MCD) were enrolled in this study. The clinical data, serum anti-PLA2R antibodies and coagulation-related indices of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsPatients with IMN were categorized into glomerular PLA2R staining-positive (GAg+) IMN group and glomerular PLA2R staining-negative (GAg-) IMN group in the study. Patients with IMN who were GAg + had lower PT, APTT and R time than patients with IMN who were GAg-, while the CI value was higher in patients with IMN who were GAg+. Patients with IMN who were GAg + were divided into the SAb+/GAg + group and the SAb-/GAg + group. Patients with IMN who were SAb+/GAg + had higher Fib and MA values than patients with IMN who were SAb-/GAg+. Correlation analysis showed that serum anti-PLA2R antibodies were positively correlated with fibrinogen, D-dimer, K time, CI value, α-angle, and MA value. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that anti-PLA2R antibodies were independently correlated with fibrinogen and MA value.

conclusionOur study provides a new perspective on the underlying mechanisms of hypercoagulability in patients with IMN. Anti-PLA2R antibodies are associated with hypercoagulability in patients with IMN and may affect coagulation in patients with IMN by affecting platelet aggregation function and fibrinogen counts.
