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

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a common self-limited vasculitis in children. The long-term prognosis depends on renal involvement. In severe Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) patients, >50 % have crescent formation and nephrotic syndrome that are important predicted outcomes. Therefore, for such patients, an aggressive immunosuppressive therapy is needed to prevent the progression. However, there is no consensus for an appropriate therapeutic regimen for severe pediatric HSPN patients. In this paper, we have reported on a 6-year-old boy who presented with HSPN with nephrotic syndrome and severe histopathological abnormalities; he was diagnosed with International Study of Kidney Disease in Children (ISKDC) grade IVb. Despite treatment with methylprednisolone pulse therapy, followed by oral prednisolone and dipyridamole; the nephrotic syndrome persisted. Subsequently, intravenous cyclophosphamide therapy (IVCY) (500-1,000 mg m
