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

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by mesangial deposition of J-chain containing dimeric IgA1 (dIgA1). Given that deposited IgA1 is mostly dIgA1, solution structure determinations of dIgA1 in phenotyped patients may be relevant to the pathogenesis of IgAN. Thus, dIgA1 from three IgAN patients and a healthy control was isolated. Biochemically, the dIgA1 structures were correlated with serum IgA-IgG immune complex levels, activated human mesangial cells interleukin-6 production, and the pattern of IgA1 N- and O-glycosylation. The degree of dIgA1 hinge O-glycosylation varied between the four subjects, being lower in IgAN subjects with an active renal biopsy Oxford score and clinically progressive IgAN. Their solution structures were investigated using analytical ultracentrifugation and small angle X-ray and neutron scattering. The increased O-glycosylation of the dIgA1 hinge was associated with larger X-ray radii of gyration R
