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

A 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis after an abnormality on chest radiography. Two years later, proteinuria was noted, and she was diagnosed with nephrosis the following year. Membranous nephropathy associated with Mycobacterium intracellulare was confirmed and clarithromycin, ethambutol and rifampicin were administered. She recovered from nephrosis after two years of anti-mycobacterial treatment. Successful treatment of the underlying cause of secondary membranous nephropathy may result in a cure. Membranous nephropathy due to mycobacteria is a rare condition. To our knowledge, this is the first report of membranous nephropathy associated with M. intracellulare.
