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

backgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystem autoimmune disease primarily manifesting as lupus nephritis. While lupus nephritis is the most common renal pathology in lupus, non-lupus nephropathies such as IgA nephropathy occasionally occur. This study aims to evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of lupus patients with IgA nephropathy, comparing them with those of primary IgA nephropathy and lupus nephritis.

methodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify cases of systemic lupus erythematosus with IgA nephropathy reported between 1995 and December 2023. A total of 16 cases were identified and 2 additional cases from our clinic were included. These cases were compared with 47 lupus nephritis patients from our clinic and 215 primary IgA nephropathy patients from the literature. Data were collected on demographics, serology, renal biopsy findings, treatment, progression to renal failure and mortality.

resultsWe identified 18 cases of lupus with IgA nephropathy with a median age of 41.6 years and a female predominance (72.2%). In comparison to the primary IgA nephropathy cohort, lupus with IgA nephropathy group exhibited a lower rate of renal failure (11.1% vs. 34%) and mortality (5.6% vs. 20%). Additionally, the lupus-IgA nephropathy group showed a slightly lower mortality rate compared to the lupus nephritis cohort (5.6% vs. 10.6%).

conclusionLupus with predominantly IgA deposits often follows a more indolent course than primary IgA nephropathy but severe cases with crescentic glomerulonephritis can still progress to renal failure.
