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

Renal disease is the most important long-term complication of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). A comparative study of renal function was carried out in two groups of patients. Group 1 included 19 children followed for a median of 11 years, 1960-1980, with a low-sodium diet, antihypertensive drugs, and a restricted protein intake in the end stage of renal disease. Group 2 included 26 children treated for a median of 9 years, 1988-2002, on a low-sodium diet, early restriction of protein intake according to recommendations, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi). Long-term renal function was assessed by the inverse of the plasma creatinine concentration (1/[Cr]) over time. Linear regression lines were fitted to individual values of 1/[Cr] for each child. Regression coefficients of children in group 1 were all negative, ranging from -0.031 to -0.00043; 7 were significantly different from zero, indicating a linear fall in renal function over time. In contrast, children from group 2 had 11 negative slopes (only 1 significant) and 15 positive slopes, ranging from 0.17893 to -0.3899. Fisher's exact test showed that group 1 had significantly more children with negative slopes than group 2. This comparatively better long-term outcome of renal function in children under contemporary treatment was probably associated with early restriction of protein and use of ACEi.
