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

This study presents a patient who died of acute renal failure (ARF) as a complication of scleroderma. The patient remained normotensive throughout the clinical course. Myeloperoxidase-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody was negative. Autopsy revealed fibrin thrombi in the glomerular capillaries and afferent arterioles, mesangiolysis, and double contour of the glomerular basement membrane. Contrarily, "onionskin lesions" of renal interlobular arteries, the histological hallmark of scleroderma renal crisis, were not discovered. These findings suggested that thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) was the cause of ARF. Although the frequency is not high, close monitoring should be given to TMA in scleroderma because of possible mortality.
