Plasma factors influencing PGI2-like activity in patients with IgA nephropathy and Henoch-Schönlein purpura.

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.
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
Plasma factors influencing vascular PGI2-like activity (PSA) were studied in 45 patients with IgA nephropathy, 18 with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, including 8 children with nephrotic syndrome, and 41 controls. The results were compared with the levels of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and fatty acid components of plasma phospholipids. The plasma of 38 of 45 patients with IgA nephropathy and 14 with Henoch-Schönlein purpura showed a diminished ability or no ability to support PSA. Twenty-three patients with IgA nephropathy and 10 with Henoch-Schönlein purpura exhibited an inhibitory activity against PGI2 production. The plasma HDL level was lower, while the LDL level and the LDL/HDL ratio were significantly higher in IgA nephropathy and Henoch-Schönlein purpura cases than in the controls. A high LDL/HDL ratio was associated with a low plasma PSA. The levels of arachidonic acid and its precursor were not lower in the plasma of patients than in the controls. The decreased PGI2 synthesis may play an important role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy and Henoch-Schönlein purpura, but it can not be explained by reduced PG precursors. LDL may have an inhibitory, and HDL a protective effect on PGI2 synthesis.
