Plasmapheresis, immunosuppressive therapy and anti-GBM disease prognosis: a cohort study of 107 patients.
Article in Renal failure, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundAnti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease presents with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and alveolar hemorrhage, requiring urgent management. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between plasmapheresis strategy, immunosuppressive therapy and the prognosis of anti-GBM disease patients.
methodWe screened newly diagnosed anti-GBM disease patients at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2010 to 2021. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of in-hospital death or dialysis dependency upon discharge.
resultsThis study enrolled 107 anti-GBM disease patients. The use of plasmapheresis was independently associated with a reduced risk of primary outcome (OR: 0.179, 95% Cl: 0.051-0.630,
conclusionPlasmapheresis was protective for both in-hospital outcome and long-term survival in anti-GBM disease. Patients who initiated plasmapheresis early had a better prognosis and might only need 5-10 plasmapheresis sessions to achieve maximal risk reduction. Use of high-dose methylprednisolone or cyclophosphamide pulses was not related to improved short- or long-term outcomes in anti-GBM disease.
