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

Background: To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) patients with renal arteriolosclerosis, providing evidence for individualized clinical management. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 597 biopsy-confirmed IMN patients at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2022. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the presence of renal arteriolosclerosis. Clinical and pathological characteristics were compared between groups. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess cumulative renal remission rates, and Cox regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for composite endpoint events in IMN patients with arteriolosclerosis. Results: In a cohort of 597 IMN patients (55.6% male), significant baseline differences were observed in Serum Sodium, triglycerides, membranous nephropathy (MN) stage, mesangial proliferation, interstitial fibrosis, and IgG deposition between the arteriolosclerosis and non-arteriolosclerosis groups ( Conclusion: Renal arteriolosclerosis portends poorer prognosis in IMN, with distinct clinicopathological features and accelerated renal function decline. Age, elevated creatinine, intense immune complex deposition, and advanced tubular-interstitial damage represent critical risk markers, highlighting the need for early vascular assessment and histology-guided risk stratification in this population.
