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

Membranous nephropathy (MN) recurs in some kidney allograft patients, and recurrence increases graft failure rates. We present a unique case of recurrent MN in first and second allografts showing glomerular capillary wall-positivity for complement receptor 1 (CR1) consistent with immunoglobulin G (IgG). A man in his late 20s developed MN and started hemodialysis. MN recurred and caused graft loss after the first transplantation and recurred again soon after the second transplantation. The IgG subclass staining was almost consistently negative for IgG4 and phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)-staining was negative. Recurrent MN of unknown etiology was considered. Mass spectrometry demonstrated that CR1 had increased in the transplanted kidney biopsies. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence studies demonstrated CR1 colocalized with IgG along glomerular capillaries in this case, whereas CR1 was localized in podocytes with no colocalization of IgG in a control case of PLA2R-associated MN. Correlative light and immunoelectron microscopy showed localization of CR1 at the interface between electron-dense deposits and podocytes. Collectively, this case demonstrated a unique enhancement and localization of CR1. MN with enhancement of CR1 has not been reported to date. CR1 may be a candidate causative antigen in this case of recurrent MN, although further study is needed to investigate the pathogenesis of CR1.
