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

CD20 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), particularly rituximab, have become a preferred treatment for many patients with phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)-related membranous nephropathy (MN). However, some patients either fail to respond to rituximab or experience adverse reactions, indicating that newer-generation CD20 mAbs may offer a more effective alternative. Recently, subcutaneous ofatumumab has been utilized in the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). This study presents two patients of primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) patients who were treated with subcutaneous ofatumumab. One patient was unresponsive to immunosuppressive therapies, while the other experienced recurrence after drug withdrawal. After ofatumumab therapy, Case 1 achieved PLA2R antibody negativity, and Case 2 showed improvements in renal function and hypoproteinemia. Both cases experienced a reduction in proteinuria. No adverse reactions were reported during the observation period. In conclusion, this study highlights the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous ofatumumab in treating PMN, particularly in patients who have failed or relapsed after conventional therapies.
