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

Background: Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is an autoimmune kidney disease. Despite the identification of certain autoantigens, the etiology and pathophysiology of PMN are still largely unknown. Methods: Five patients with biopsy-proven PMN were enrolled in this study. Their blood, kidney and urine samples were collected respectively to profile cellular, molecular and immunological alterations by using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Experimental verifications were also implemented in kidney tissue. Results: In the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples, portions of B cells and plasma cells were increased in PMN patients. Cell-cell communication analysis suggests that Conclusion: Our study comprehensively profiled the transcriptomic landscapes of blood, kidney and urine in patients with PMN using scRNA-seq. We depicted the alterations including cell compositions and cell-cell communication in PMN. These results offer important clues with regard to the diagnosis and pathogenesis of PMN and potential intervention of PMN progression.
