The Efficacy of Induction Treatment with a Cyclophosphamide- or Mycophenolate Mofetil-Based Regimen for Active Lupus Nephritis in Thailand: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Glomerular diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Treating lupus nephritis is vital to reducing morbidity and mortality. In Thailand, comparative data on intravenous cyclophosphamide- and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)-based induction therapies are limited. This study assessed renal remission outcomes for these regimens. Methods: We analyzed renal and patient outcomes in 89 individuals with biopsy-proven active lupus nephritis treated at Phramongkutklao Hospital between 2020 and 2023. Among the cohort, 55 patients received a cyclophosphamide regimen, and 34 were treated with an MMF regimen. Results: Baseline clinical characteristics were comparable between the two groups, except for higher hematuria and renal activity index, as well as lower C3 complement levels and renal chronicity in the cyclophosphamide group. The average doses administered were 0.55 ± 0.12 g/m Conclusion: Induction therapy with cyclophosphamide- and MMF-based regimens demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety in achieving renal remission in patients with active lupus nephritis.
