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

Introduction: The immunopathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) involves mechanisms beyond B-cell dysregulation, yet the full spectrum and clinical relevance of peripheral immune alterations remain insufficiently defined. Methods: Peripheral blood from 7 IgAN patients and 3 healthy controls was analyzed by 30-marker mass cytometry (CyTOF), revealing 22 immune clusters across lymphoid and myeloid lineages. Independent flow cytometry validated CyTOF findings in 50 IgAN patients and 10 controls. Group differences were assessed by Mann-Whitney U test and associations with clinical measures via Spearman correlation. Results: CyTOF mapping revealed 22 immune clusters spanning lymphoid and myeloid lineages. Among these, two subsets showed a significant increase in IgAN: switched memory B cells (CD19 Conclusions: Our study delineates a peripheral immune signature of IgAN characterized by enhanced B-cell activation and cytotoxic T-cell responses, reflecting a dual-axis immune imbalance that may shape disease progression. These findings refine current immunopathogenic models and may guide future therapeutic research.
