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: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology with more frequent lung and lymph node involvement. Despite kidney involvement occurring between 25% and 43%, it may be underdiagnosed, with interstitial granulomatous nephritis and nephrocalcinosis being the most common features, and glomerular disease being less frequent. Case report: A 43-year-old man came to the emergency room (ER) because of macroscopic hematuria, arthralgias, pitting inferior extremities edema, asthenia, and dry cough without dyspnea. Evaluation revealed nephrotic range proteinuria and glomerular hematuria, suggesting an impure nephrotic syndrome. The kidney biopsy showed features of membranous nephropathy and granulomatous interstitial nephritis, with immunofluorescence showing codominant mesangial immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) deposits. Management and outcome: Steroids plus angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) antagonists were effective, with symptoms subsiding and proteinuria level decreasing after 8 months of follow-up.
