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

Presently, no specific therapies have been recognized for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has been verified effective for Chinese patients with IgAN. Telitacicept is a full-human TACI-FC fusion preventing B cells maturation and activation, and it has been proven to be beneficial for IgAN in a phase II clinical trial. This study was designed to observe the efficacy and safety of telitacicept plus low-dose MMF for IgAN treatment. This retrospective cohort study included 24 patients with IgAN, and patients were treated with telitacicept plus MMF. The primary outcome was settled as the changing in proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The subordinate outcome was set as the changing in hematuria. The mean follow-up time was 23 months. The median baseline proteinuria was 2.5 (1.74, 6.58) g/d, and eGFR was 94.97 (56.8, 120.67) mL/min/1.73 m
