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

Introduction: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) diagnosis remains dependent on invasive renal biopsy because currently available serologic biomarkers, including galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1), have limited diagnostic performance. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a high-sensitivity time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) based on a novel anti-Gd-IgA1 monoclonal antibody (i.e., MH33) for Gd-IgA1 detection in IgAN. Methods: MH33 glycoepitope specificity was characterized using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). An MH33-based TRFIA was developed and evaluated for analytical and diagnostic performance in healthy controls (HCs), non-IgAN renal disease controls, and patients with IgAN, with comparison to a KM55-based assay. Results: SPR analysis showed that MH33 recognized a GalNAc-modified IgA1 hinge-region glycopeptide distinct from the KM55 epitope. The MH33-based TRFIA achieved a detection limit of 0.20 response units (RU)/ml, a quantification range of 0.20 to 600 RU/ml, and acceptable analytical performance (intra-/inter-assay coefficients of variation: 2.32%-5.49% and 3.97%-5.23%; recoveries: 89.80%-103.76%). Correlation with KM55 was moderate (IgAN, Conclusion: MH33-based TRFIA provides a sensitive approach for Gd-IgA1 detection and demonstrates favorable diagnostic performance for IgAN.
