Filariasis-Associated Secondary Membranous Nephropathy: A Rare Presentation.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Parasitic infections like filariasis are uncommon causes of secondary membranous nephropathy (MN) which requires serological tests to detect circulating Wuchereria bancrofti antigens for its diagnosis or the identification of microfilariae in the capillary lumen on kidney biopsy. The immunochromatographic card tests is simple, non invasive and has high sensitivity and specificity. We report a case of 30 year old lady who presented to us with nephrotic syndrome which on kidney biopsy showed features of membranous nephropathy with negative staining for Anti PLA2R, THSD7A and exostosin. A thorough workup was done to find out any secondary cause of MN where she was found positive with filiarial antibody test. Hence, a diagnosis of secondary membranous pattern nephropathy was considered for which she was treated with diethylcarbamazine (DEC) and other supportive medications which on follow up showed marked resolution of proteinuria.
