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

Complement protein 3 (C3) glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare and progressive kidney disease primarily affecting young individuals and frequently advancing to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). For ESKD, kidney transplantation remains the optimal treatment option; however, C3G has a high recurrence rate post-transplantation, affecting over two-thirds of transplanted patients. Despite advances in our understanding of C3G, significant gaps persist regarding the optimal timing for transplantation and the best strategies for peri-transplant management. Currently, no clear evidence links functional complement levels to the risk of post-transplant recurrence. Genetic counseling is also complex, due to variable gene penetrance and weak genotype-phenotype correlations, which limit predictive accuracy. Transplant-related factors are believed to significantly influence C3G recurrence, yet there are no established methods for preventing recurrence after transplantation. Eculizumab has shown inconsistent efficacy in managing recurrent C3G. However, new proximal complement inhibitors, such as factor B and C3 inhibitors, are under investigation in clinical trials and show promise. Some of these trials include kidney transplant patients with C3G, and their outcomes could potentially shape future treatment protocols.
