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

Currently, Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is treated with glucocorticoids alone or in combination with other immunosuppressants. Although the initial response rate is substantial, the remission rate is suboptimal, and the recurrence rate following rituximab therapy remains high. Here, we report the first patient with IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis who was treated with obinutuzumab after relapse, providing additional insights for future treatment strategies. This case demonstrates that the obinutuzumab induction and maintenance regimen in patients with IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis can maintain prolonged B-cell depletion, rapidly and persistently reduce inflammation and serum IgG4 levels, and reverse functional impairment in some affected organs.
