Long-term real-world outcomes of rituximab in primary membranous nephropathy: a 154-patient cohort study from China.
Article in Renal failure, 2026. 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
To investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in treating patients with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN), a total of 154 patients with pMN receiving RTX treatment were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The study included 92 patients who received RTX as an initial therapy, and 62 patients who received it as an alternative therapy. Over a median follow-up of 30.0 (24.0, 47.0) months after RTX treatment, 102/121 (84.3%) patients achieved immunological remission. And 128/154 (83.1%) patients achieved clinical remission (including 37.7% of CR and 45.5% of PR), accompanied by significant reduction in proteinuria and increase in serum albumin levels. Clinical response rates were comparable between the initial and alternative therapy groups (87.0 vs. 77.4%,
