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

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) are rare complement-mediated kidney diseases with differing injury sites and therapeutic targets. We conducted a time-limited rapid systematic review to synthesize clinical evidence on complement-targeted therapies. Rapid reviews streamline traditional systematic review methods to provide timely evidence for decision-making in situations where new regulatory approvals or clinical developments create an urgent need for synthesized evidence. The abbreviated timeframe was chosen to inform clinical practice following the March 2025 FDA approval of iptacopan and the July 2025 FDA approval of pegcetacoplan for C3G, at a time when clinicians required timely guidance on emerging therapeutic options. Seven databases were searched from inception to 24 April 2026, supplemented by Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, and congress abstracts. Chinese databases were searched PROSPERO Registration: CRD420261364711 (rapid registration, 9 April 2026).
