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

Minimal change disease (MCD) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Rituximab, a type I anti-CD20 antibody, is effective in many cases, but up to 40% of patients show an insufficient or transient response. Obesity, a frequent comorbidity, is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and B-cell dysfunction, which may contribute to suboptimal treatment outcomes. Obinutuzumab, a type II anti-CD20 antibody, induces more profound B-cell depletion than rituximab. We report two obese patients (BMI 32.10 and 42.45 kg/m
