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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to identify the clinical and laboratory risk factors for renal involvement and to determine the relationship between platelet counts and renal involvement in (Henoch-Schönlein purpura) HSP patients.

methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 107 children with HSP according to Eular/Press diagnostic criteria. Clinical and laboratory parameters for renal involvement were evaluated and compared to no renal involvement.

resultsA retrospective study consisted of 107 children, 61 boys (57%), and 46 girls (43%). Twenty-eight of the 107 patients (26.1%) had renal involvement. The mean platelet count was significantly higher in patients with renal involvement when compared to patients without renal involvement (P = 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that age (P = 0.022), sex (P = 0.037), gastrointestinal involvement (P = 0.019), and platelet count (P = 0.019) were significantly associated with the renal involvement of HSP. The platelet count was predictive of renal involvement, which had odds ratio of 1.0, and achieved area under the curve of 0.66 for predicting the renal involvement within the acute stage of HSP (P = 0.009).

conclusionOur study indicated that age, sex, gastrointestinal involvement, and platelet count were significant risk factors of renal involvement of HSP.
