Coexisting Tubulointerstitial Inflammation and Damage Is a Risk Factor for Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients With Lupus Nephritis.
Article in International journal of rheumatic diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThis study aims to determine whether the concurrent presence of tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) and tubulointerstitial damage (TID) predicts the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).
methodsData from 175 LN patients, collected at the time of renal biopsy, were analyzed. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the presence or absence of coexisting TII/TID. Uni- and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models were utilized to identify independent risk factors for CKD in LN patients.
resultsOf 175 patients, 110 (62.9%) exhibited coexisting TII/TID, whereas 65 (37.1%) did not. Patients with coexisting TII/TID tended to be older and presented with higher levels of ESR and 24-h proteinuria, as well as lower levels of eGFR and hemoglobin compared to those without coexisting TII/TID. Over a mean follow-up period of 89.9 months, CKD and end-stage renal disease occurred more frequently in patients with coexisting TII/TID. Notably, the presence of coexisting TII/TID was associated with a higher risk of CKD progression, with adjusted hazard ratios of 2.667 (95% CI: 1.333, 5.335, p = 0.006) for all LN patients, 3.265 (95% CI: 1.451, 7.345, p = 0.004) for those with class III, IV, and V LN, and 3.045 (95% CI: 1.289, 7.195, p = 0.011) for those with class III, IV, V LN, and eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionsLN patients with coexisting TII/TID are at a heightened risk of kidney function deterioration at LN onset and subsequent development of CKD over the long term.
