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

Over 80 % of patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus will have renal involvement compared to 40 % with adult-onset disease. Up to 44 % of children who do have lupus nephritis (LN) progress to renal failure in early adulthood. Improved methods of detecting onset of LN would allow earlier treatment, which may prevent irreversible renal scarring and a decline in renal function. Current conventional markers of disease activity fail to adequately predict renal lupus flares and include proteinuria, complement levels, anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies and serum creatinine concentrations. Standardized histological classification is currently the gold standard for diagnosing and classifying LN, but its invasive nature limits routine use for monitoring, especially in a childhood population. Novel biomarkers need to be sensitive and specific-and preferably non-invasive and cost-effective. The most promising biomarkers in juvenile-onset LN include urinary neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 and transforming growth factor-beta, although many others have been identified and are under investigation. No one biomarker yet discovered is unique to LN, indicating an overlap in disease pathophysiology. It is likely that a combination of biomarkers will be required for assessing disease flare detection, response to treatment and prognostic information. Potential biomarkers require longitudinal validation in large paediatric, prospective cohorts to assess their ability to act as clinically useful adjuncts.
