Rankograms for composite study outcomes in lupus nephritis, renal remission or renal response (a), renal relapse or renal flare (b), fertility issues (c), and bone marrow toxicity (d). Legend: This two-dimensional plot show on the x-axis (horizontal) the possible ranks of the treatment from best to the last ranks and on the y-axis (vertical) the probability of each of the treatments to assume those possible ranks for each outcome. For example, for renal relapse/flare (an undesired outcome), the highest probability was evident with corticosteroids alone, followed by MMF-AZA, followed by AZA and others
