IgA Nephropathy in a Patient with Tularemia: Causality or Coincidental Association?
Article in Infectious diseases & clinical microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Abstract: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is the most common primary glomerulonephritis. Oropharyngeal tularemia is a zoonotic infection caused by Francisella tularensis. To the best of our knowledge, no previous report has documented F. tularensis as a potential cause of IgA nephropathy. Here, we describe a case of IgA nephropathy occurring in the context of oropharyngeal tularemia. A 47-year-old man developed dark-colored urine a few days after the onset of upper respiratory symptoms. Kidney biopsy confirmed IgA nephropathy in the setting of acute kidney injury. Treatment with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide, in combination with tularemia-specific therapy, led to clinical improvement. This case highlights a possible association between tularemia and IgA nephropathy, warranting further investigation into the underlying mechanisms. Graphic Abstract: Graphic Abstract.
