Remission of Immunoglobulin A nephropathy following sequential tonsillectomy and appendectomy: A case report.

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
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy is a common glomerular disease associated with mucosal immune dysregulation. We report the case of a young woman diagnosed with biopsy-proven immunoglobulin A nephropathy who achieved sustained clinical remission following sequential tonsillectomy and appendectomy performed for standard clinical indications. Tonsillectomy was associated with improvement in hematuria, whereas proteinuria persisted. Four years later, appendectomy for chronic appendicitis was followed by complete resolution of the proteinuria. The temporal association between these interventions and changes in disease activity is notable; however, causality cannot be established. This case highlights the potential relevance of extrarenal mucosal inflammatory conditions in selected patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy and underscores the complexity of disease activity assessment. These observations should be considered hypothesis-generating and require further investigation.
