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

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the cause of 3% of pediatric nephrotic syndrome, with increasing incidence in adolescents. It was historically divided into primary and secondary forms but is increasingly described by antigen. The direct clinical value of knowing the MN antigen often depends on the strength of association between antigen and various underlying conditions, prognostic potential, and the presence of commercially available serum antibody testing. In this case, we describe an adolescent with PLA2R-, NELL1-, THSD7A-, and EXT2-negative MN who responded to B-cell depleting therapy. Three years later, he developed proliferative lupus nephritis and ongoing membranous nephritis with newly detected EXT2-positive deposits on kidney biopsy. This discordant MN antigen result demonstrates (1) the potential for apparent change in MN antigen detection over time and (2) that EXT1/2 negativity does not exclude the possibility of later development of lupus nephritis in an adolescent with MN.
