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

Swelling of the right ankle and purpura on the bilateral lower extremities of a 6-year-old boy indicated a diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). The patient was referred to our hospital because of severe abdominal pain that was unresponsive to prednisolone. Respiratory symptoms and pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray were absent upon admission. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy gradually improved the abdominal symptoms, but tachypnea developed, and insufficient aeration of the right lung was accompanied by a decline in percutaneous oxygen saturation from 99% to 90% and a rapid decrease in hemoglobin levels from 11.7 to 7.6 g/dL. Chest X-rays and high-resolution computed tomography scans showed widespread consolidation and patchy opacities predominantly in the right lung fields, suggesting acute pulmonary hemorrhage. Intravenous cyclosporin A (CyA) gradually resolved the pulmonary hemorrhage and respiratory insufficiency. Pulmonary hemorrhage, as a complication of HSP, is extremely rare and sometimes fatal. Aggressive steroid and immunosuppressive treatment is required to address severe complications of HSP.
