The Association of Lower Levels of Baseline Proteinuria With Earlier Remission in Primary Membranous Nephropathy.

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
Aim To study the clinical profile and course and to assess the outcome of patients with biopsy-proven primary membranous nephropathy (MN). Methods This study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital between December 2017 and December 2021 on four-year retrospective biopsy-proven patients with membranous nephropathy (MN). Urinary proteins, serum albumin, and serum creatinine were the baseline investigations that were performed. Special tests were done whenever necessary. Patients were treated with a modified Ponticelli (MP) regimen whenever needed. Patients were followed up after treatment administration for a minimum of a year. Results The study was done in 48 biopsy-proven MN patients. Thirty-six patients had primary MN with a mean age of 47+/-11.7 years. The male-female ratio was 2.6:1. Hypertension was present in 39% (14 patients), microscopic hematuria in 28% (10 patients), and acute kidney injury in 22% (8 patients). The mean 24-hour urinary protein was 11.2+/-2.9 g/day. PLA2R was positive in 78% (28 patients) of primary MN patients. Spontaneous remission was noted in 13.8% (5 patients) who were treated conservatively. Spontaneous remission was associated with lower baseline proteinuria (p<0.001), higher baseline serum albumin (p
