Crescents as Independent Risk Factor in the Progression of Primary Membranous Nephropathy.
Article in Journal of inflammation research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: The role of crescent formation in primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) and its potential impact on prognosis remain an area of ongoing investigation. This study stratifies patients with PMN into two cohorts: one with crescents and one without. It then compares these groups to investigate the influence of crescents on the prognosis of PMN. Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we included patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of PMN and exhibited crescents upon renal biopsy. The study population was sourced from the medical records at the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University in Zhanjiang, China, spanning from January 2017 to June 2023. To enable a comparative analysis of clinical, pathological, and prognostic features, a control group was established, comprising 106 patients diagnosed with PMN who did not have crescent formation. These controls were randomly selected from the same time frame. Regular follow-up of the patients continued in the outpatient setting for at least six months. Results: A total of 53 patients with PMN and crescent formation were included in this study, while 106 individuals without crescents served as a randomly selected control group. Patients with PMN and crescents exhibited higher systolic blood pressure ( Conclusion: Crescent formation is associated with a risk of adverse outcomes in patients with PMN. Patients with crescents exhibit severe clinical and pathological features and have poorer prognoses.
