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

An association of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency with glomerulonephritis is rare and has so far been observed only in children or young adults. We report a 63-year-old man with severe alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency associated with pulmonary emphysema, cirrhosis of the liver, and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome. Following initial presentation with nephropathy, further work-up revealed alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency of proteinase inhibitor Z. In the absence of glomerular alpha 1-antitrypsin deposits the relationship between renal disease and alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency remains unclear. alpha 1-Antitrypsin deficiency should be considered in adults with abnormal renal function and chronic liver disease.
