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

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent primary glomerulonephritis, resulting in end-stage renal disease and increased mortality rates. Prognostic biomarkers reflecting molecular mechanisms for effective IgAN management are urgently needed. Analysis of kidney single-cell transcriptomic sequencing data demonstrated that IgAN expressed high-expression levels of inflammatory cytokines TNFSF10, TNFSF12, CCL2, CXCL1, and CXCL12 than healthy controls (HCs). We also measured the urine proteins in 120 IgAN (57 stable and 63 progressive) and 32 HCs using the proximity extension assay (PEA), and the multivariable and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression analysis both revealed that CXCL12, MCP1 were the prognostic significant variables to predict IgAN progression severity. These two proteins exhibited negative correlation with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and patients with higher expression levels of these two proteins had a higher probability to have poorer renal outcome. We further developed a risk index model utilizing CXCL12, MCP1, and baseline clinical indicators, which achieved an impressive area under the curve (AUC) of 0.896 for prediction of IgAN progression severity. Our study highlights the significance of the inflammatory protein biomarkers for noninvasive prediction of IgAN severity and progression, offering valuable insights for clinical management.
