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

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis worldwide with most patients progressing to kidney failure. Although its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, deposition of IgA-containing immune complexes in the glomerular mesangium induces mesangial cell proliferation and overproduction of extracellular matrix components and cytokines and chemokines, that lead to glomerular injury. The properties of nephritogenic IgA1 include abnormal glycosylation of its polymeric forms and its capacity to bind IgG autoantibodies to form immune complexes. Nephritogenic IgA1 is thought to be secreted by B cells originating from or residing in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT), such as gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) and nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissues (NALT). However, little is known how the immune abnormalities in MALT elevate the circulatory levels of nephritogenic IgA. This review summarizes fundamental insights into IgA production and its regulation in MALT in general, provides an overview of the immune abnormalities in the MALT of patients with IgAN relevant to the production of abnormally glycosylated IgA, and summarizes relevant emerging treatments tested in clinical trials.
