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

backgroundLittle information is currently available on the development of tubulointerstitial lesions in children with Henoch-Schönlein nephritis (HSN). To identify the impact of the development of tubulointerstitial changes in HSN, we retrospectively analyzed renal biopsies obtained from children with HSN.

methodsTwenty-eight children with HSN from whom serial renal biopsies had been obtained before and after immunosuppressive therapy were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the observed change in tubulointerstitial lesion development: group I (n = 15), with stable or improved tubulointerstitial lesions, and group II (n = 13), with worsened tubulointerstitial lesions. Group II patients had longer duration of proteinuria than group I patients (3.7 ± 3.7 years vs. 1.7 ± 1.7 years, p = 0.052).

resultsThe change in serum albumin level was negatively correlated with the change in tubulointerstitial scores before and after treatment (γ = -0.444, p = 0.018). Group II patients showed a significant decrease in immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA deposits after treatment (p = 0.039 and 0.003, respectively), while group II patients did not (p = 0.458 and 0.506, respectively).

conclusionsAlthough the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children classification of HSN does not include tubulointerstitial lesions, they can progress during treatment and could have significant clinical implications in association with the duration of proteinuria.
