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

Considerable concern has been expressed on the importance of identifying an improved therapeutic protocol for use in the treatment of childhood Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, primarily due to the unpredictable success shown to date in improving long-term renal outcome. This review focuses on published reports describing the outcomes of therapeutic approaches currently being used in the treatment of pediatric Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, with the aim of providing information that will facilitate a treatment-based approach in children presenting with varying degrees of kidney disease. The conclusions of the authors of this review are that currently prescribed treatments of children affected by Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis are not adequately guided by evidence obtained in properly designed, randomized, placebo-controlled trials with outcome markers related to the progression to end stage renal disease (level I evidence). Moreover, firm evidence supporting the best practice to be applied with the aim of delaying the progression of kidney disease is still lacking.
