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

objectiveTo evaluate the impact of renal tubulointerstitial lesions (TIL) on clinical and pathologic outcomes and prognosis in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed on 582 patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of TIL as determined by renal biopsy: TIL- (258 cases) and TIL+ (324 cases). Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression models were used to analyze the influence of TIL on renal prognosis. Logistic regression models were used to further identify risk factors associated with the development of TIL.

resultsPatients in the TIL+ group were predominantly male, older, and had a higher prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, nephrotic syndrome, microscopic hematuria, and immunosuppressive therapy compared to the TIL- group. In addition, triglycerides, blood urea nitrogen, and 24-hour urine protein were significantly higher in the TIL+ group, while albumin and estimated glomerular filtration rate were lower (

conclusionTIL is frequently associated with idiopathic membranous nephropathy, with more severe clinical manifestations and pathologic features, and idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients with TIL have a lower disease remission rate and worse overall renal prognosis. Hypertension, globular/segmental glomerulosclerosis, and intimal thickening of small renal arteries are independent risk factors for the development of TIL in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy.
