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

backgroundImmunoglobulin E (IgE) has traditionally been associated with anaphylaxis and atopic disease. Previous studies reported that serum IgE levels are elevated in nephrotic syndrome and suggested IgE levels as a prognostic indicator in glomerular diseases. The aim of this study was to explore the association between serum IgE levels and renal outcome in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN).

methodsWe included 117 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN. Renal progression was defined if a patient meets one of these criteria: (1) a negative value of delta estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min/1.73 m(2)/mo) or (2) a rise in serum creatinine to an absolute level of ≥ 1.3 mg/dL (male) or 1.2 mg/dL (female). We defined delta changes in serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proteinuria as a difference of values during the follow-up period.

resultsA total of 117 patients with IgAN were included. The serum IgE level was significantly high in the renal progressive group compared with the nonprogressive group. Sex and history of gross hematuria were significantly different between the high-IgE group and the low-IgE group. Regression analysis showed that a male sex, initial proteinuria, and change of proteinuria were significantly associated with serum IgE levels.

conclusionThe serum IgE level is potentially associated with disease progression and pathogenesis of IgAN.
