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

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome in the adult population. Although the majority of the cases of MN are without any inciting event, about a third are caused or associated with immune diseases, infectious diseases, and drugs and toxins. There have been very few cases of association of syphilis and MN. We describe this rare infectious cause of MN in a 41-year-old patient who presented with nephrotic syndrome. The patient was diagnosed with secondary syphilis. He was treated successfully with complete resolution of his nephrotic picture. A thorough clinical history and physical examination which resulted in a suspicion for sexually transmitted disease led us to the successful diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition.
