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

Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition (PGNMID) is a rare variant of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS). Although the pathogenesis of PGNMID is not yet fully understood, it is currently hypothesized to originate from the intraglomerular deposition of pathogenic monoclonal immunoglobulins secreted by B cells or plasma cells. Typically, these deposits exhibit light chain restriction, with κ light chains being the most prevalent. Therapeutic strategies for PGNMID are based on targeting the abnormal or potential clone. However, the combination of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide has also been reported. In this report, we describe an extremely rare clinical case of λ light chain type PGNMID occurring simultaneously with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. After treatment with the combination of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide, the patient demonstrated reduced proteinuria and stable renal function.
