An Unusual Presentation of Myeloperoxidase-Associated Glomerulonephritis and Suspected IgA-Mediated Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in nephrology and dialysis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is a rare cause of glomerulonephritis usually mediated by IgG antibodies and is associated with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis in up to 50% of cases. IgA-mediated anti-GBM disease is extremely rare and presents diagnostic difficulties as circulating IgA antibodies will not be detected by standard serological tests for anti-GBM disease. Case Presentation: We present the case of a 67-year-old man with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis requiring haemodialysis at presentation. Serological testing was positive for anti-myeloperoxidase and negative for IgG anti-GBM antibodies. Kidney biopsy revealed necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis with linear staining of IgA along the GBM. He was treated with a combination of immunosuppression and plasma exchange and was able to become dialysis-independent. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first documented "double-positive" IgA anti-GBM disease and ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis.
