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

backgroundSystemic small blood vessel vasculitis (SSV) is uncommon among pediatric patients, and the predictive value of the new histopathological classification for SSV in terms of renal outcomes in these patients is unknown.

methodsThe study cohort comprised 38 pediatric patients and 285 adult patients with SSV who were treated in a medical center between 1993 and 2012.

resultsChildren accounted for 11.8 % of all patients with SSV diagnosed during the study period. In contrast to the adult patients, the pediatric patients were predominantly female (73.7 vs. 51.9 %; P < 0.05). The prevalence of skin purpura was higher and pulmonary symptoms were less common among pediatric patients than among adult ones (36.8 vs. 13.7 %, P < 0.01 and 26.3 vs. 46.0 %, P < 0.05, respectively). Subtype was correlated with the baseline levels of serum creatinine and treatment response among patients with SSV and was found to have a tendency to predict end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among pediatric patients (hazard ratio 2.273, P < 0.01). The probability of progressing to ESRD was highest in pediatric patients with the sclerotic glomerulonephritis subtype, followed by the mixed, crescentic and focal glomerulonephritis subtypes (in descending order of probability) (P < 0.01).

conclusionsEstimated histopathological classification has a prognostic value for renal outcome and response to therapy in children with SSV.
