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: Complement 3 (C3) glomerulopathy (C3G) is a heterogenous disease characterized by dysregulation of the complement alternative pathway. Within 10 years of a diagnosis, roughly 50% of patients with C3G will progress to end-stage kidney disease. Historically, treatment options have been limited to nonspecific immune suppression with suboptimal response rates to recommended therapies. Advances in immunology and the emergence of novel complement-targeted therapies have shifted the focus toward identifying the distinct underlying etiologies of C3G. Summary: In this review, we provide a description of the current landscape and challenges faced in the classification, evaluation, and treatment of patients with C3G. Key Message: C3G can be broadly separated into four distinct groups: (1) genetic mutations/variants, (2) autoimmune/acquired autoantibodies, (3) monoclonal immunoglobulin-associated C3G, and (4) C3G without an identified cause. Therapy directed toward the underlying pathogenetic cause of C3G may improve outcomes in a disease in which current treatment options are largely ineffective.
