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

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a multisystem immunoglobulin A-mediated vasculitis with a self-limited course affecting the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract, and kidneys. HSP occurs most often in children between the ages of 3 and 10 years, and presents classically with a unique distribution of the rash to the lower extremities and the buttocks area. For this reason, a skin biopsy in children is rarely necessary for diagnosis. However, in the very young age children and adults, the rash is not classically distributed, and therefore a skin biopsy is often needed. Although there are currently no prospective controlled studies on the treatment of the different manifestations of HSP, there are several retrospectively designed studies and other physicians' personal experiences supporting the use of steroids in patients with severe gastrointestinal, severe renal, central nervous system, and testicular involvements. Severe renal and central nervous system disease may lead to life-threatening conditions, and immunosuppressive agents and plasmapheresis may be needed. The overall prognosis in HSP is excellent, but the long-term morbidity depends on the renal and neurologic involvement. One third to one half of these patients will have one or more recurrences of symptoms, usually within 6 weeks, but may occur as late as 3 to 7 years later.
