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

Autoimmune kidney diseases usually arise from autoimmune system dysfunction and are characterized by production of autoantibodies. Several autoimmune kidney diseases are currently recognized, including lupus nephritis, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, membranous nephropathy, IgA nephropathy. B-cell activating factor (BAFF), a member of the tumor necrosis factor family, serves as a critical regulator of humoral immunity. By binding to specific receptors on the surface of B cells, BAFF regulates their survival, proliferation, differentiation and antibody production, thereby playing a key role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune kidney diseases. Elevated serum BAFF levels, reported across multiple autoimmune diseases, promote aberrant B cell activation and autoantibody production. This review systematically illustrates the biology and immunology of BAFF, and further explores the role of BAFF in those autoimmune kidney diseases, aiming to provide a comprehensive insight into the BAFF molecule.
