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

Gross hematuria (GH) following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination has been increasingly reported in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). This study assessed the effect of post-vaccination GH on kidney function. A total of 441 Japanese outpatients with biopsy-confirmed IgAN (median age: 51 years; 56% female; baseline eGFR: 57 mL/min/1.73 m²) were classified into three groups: unvaccinated (n = 25), vaccinated without GH (n = 391), and vaccinated with GH (n = 25). Kidney function was evaluated at approximately 1 year (midpoint) and 2 years (endpoint) after baseline. The annual eGFR change (ΔeGFR: mL/min/1.73 m²/year) at midpoint was - 1.16, - 1.03, and - 2.50, respectively. The GH group showed a significantly greater decline compared to the non-GH group (p = 0.015), and GH was significantly associated with greater eGFR decline at midpoint (odds ratio: 2.97, p = 0.038). At the endpoint, the ΔeGFR was - 0.45, - 1.93, and - 1.72, with no significant differences among the groups (p = 0.773). In this cohort, GH after vaccination was observed to be associated with a greater short-term decline in kidney function, although the retrospective design precludes establishing causality.
