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

Background: To investigate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept combined with glucocorticoid/mycophenolate mofetil (GM) versus telitacicept in the treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). Methods: This retrospective, multicenter cohort study enrolled patients aged ≥ 18 years with biopsy-proven IgAN who were treated with telitacicept. All participants had a baseline eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m² and proteinuria excretion ≥ 0.75 g/day after receiving at least 1 month of optimized supportive treatment. Clinical data were collected over 9 months. Results: A total of 256 patients were enrolled in the study, with 125 patients receiving telitacicept monotherapy and 131 patients receiving telitacicept plus GM therapy. The mean age was 39.5 ± 11.6 years, and 100 patients (39.1%) were male. At 9 months, the telitacicept + GM group showed a significantly greater reduction in proteinuria (-1.32 g/day versus -0.94 g/day, Conclusion: Telitacicept + GM regimen significantly reduced proteinuria and hematuria, maintained stable renal function in patients with IgAN, with no serious adverse events occurring.
