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

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduced proteinuria in patients with IgA nephropathy; however, their efficacy in patients at high risk of progression receiving immunosuppressive agents and renin angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors remains unclear. After 3 months of low-dose steroid alone or combined with mycophenolate mofetil, as well as renin angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors treatment, 105 biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy patients with proteinuria greater than 0.5 g/d were included in this study. The changes in proteinuria and renal function were analyzed at 3 and 6 months after initiating dapagliflozin. Among 105 patients, the MEST-C lesions of M1, E1, S1, C1, C2 and T1 were more frequent and accounted for 74.3%, 61.0%, 80.0%, 50.5%, 8.6% and 40%, respectively. Baseline characteristics were similar between 49 patients in the dapagliflozin groups and 56 patients in the control groups. After 6 months of therapy, the total remission rate in the dapagliflozin group was higher than that in the control group (55.1% vs. 33.9%,
