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

We investigated the serum and urine chemokine levels of patients with schistosomal mansoni glomerulonephritis. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Southeast of Brazil. Overall, 160 subjects were enrolled and divided into five groups: 1) hepatosplenic schistosomiasis with renal disease (N = 12); 2) hepatosplenic schistosomiasis without renal disease (N = 68); 3) hepatointestinal schistosomiasis (N = 27); 4) glomerulopathy caused by other diseases (N = 22); and 5) healthy controls (N = 31). The patients with microalbuminuria > 30 mg in 24 hours were considered to have renal disease. The sera and urine chemokines CCL2, CCL3, CCL5, CCL11, and CXCL8 were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test. A similar profile was observed between the patients with schistosomal glomerulopathy and the patients with glomerulopathy caused by other diseases, with the exception of serum CCL2 ≤ 634.3 pg/mL. In cases with sera CCL2 > 634.3 pg/mL, the diagnosis of schistosomal glomerulopathy should be considered.
