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

backgroundAlthough clinical and immunological studies have shown a possible link between allergy and idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS), the nature of the relationship remains unclear. Asthma is the most common chronic allergic airway inflammation. However, no study has used a longitudinal design with a population cohort to investigate INS in children with asthma.

methodsUsing nationwide claims data from 2000 through 2007, we randomly selected 251,698 asthma cases and 1,006,791 frequency-matched controls. Incidence rates of INS and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated.

resultsThe INS incidence was 3.36-fold greater in the asthma cohort than in the nonasthma control (9.26 vs. 2.76 per 100,000 person-years; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.65-4.26). The HR for INS increased for those with more asthma-related medical visits per year, from 1.49 (95% CI: 1.06-2.11) for <3 visits to 15.7 (95% CI: 11.5-21.5) for ≥6 visits (trend test, P < 0.0001). The HR for INS slightly decreased during the follow-up period, from 3.41 (95% CI: 2.66-4.38) for ≤5.5 y to 2.90 (95% CI: 1.33-6.30) for >5.5 y.

conclusionWe conclude that children with asthma had an increased incidence rate of INS, and increased incidence rate correlated with asthma-related medical visits.
