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

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with limited biomarkers for early detection. While neutrophils contribute to SLE pathogenesis, their phenotypic heterogeneity in disease remains poorly characterized. Here, we used mass cytometry to profile blood neutrophils from patients with biopsy-confirmed proliferative LN and healthy controls. We identified a distinct population of activated neutrophils, marked by surface expression of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1/CD107a), that was virtually absent in healthy individuals. We demonstrate that LAMP1 resides intracellularly in resting neutrophils and translocates to the cell surface upon activation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed no difference in LAMP1 mRNA expression between patients with SLE and controls, confirming that surface LAMP1 reflects neutrophil activation rather than increased transcription. Soluble LAMP1 was significantly elevated in serum from patients with SLE compared with controls, with the highest levels in proliferative LN. In a large cohort of 225 patients with LN, urinary LAMP1 correlated with glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria, and histological activity indices. Together, our findings reveal LAMP1 as a marker of neutrophil activation in SLE and identify serum and urinary LAMP1 as potential noninvasive biomarkers for proliferative LN.
