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

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Telitacicept has been demonstrated significant efficacy in IgAN, but its comparative efficacy versus the recommended regimens in the 2025 KDIGO guideline remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids, telitacicept, and nefecon Methods: We recruited 101 patients with IgAN confirmed by renal biopsy. The patients were categorized into three groups according to the treatment they received: the GC group, the Telitacicept group, and the Nefecon group. Treatment responses, including complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR), and adverse events were compared among the three groups after 9 months of follow-up. Results: At the 9-month follow-up, the CR rates were 93.5%, 86.2%, and 70.7% for the GC group, Telitacicept group, and Nefecon group, respectively ( Conclusion: Our study confirmed that glucocorticoids have superior efficacy to nefecon, but are associated with a higher incidence of adverse events. Telitacicept offered both efficacy and safety, and can be recommended for high-risk IgAN patients who are intolerant to glucocorticoids.
