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

Our study retrospectively investigated the expression of forkhead/winged helix transcription factor (Foxp3) in renal tissue and clinical features of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN). A total of 58 patients with HBV-GN were assigned to group A; 45 serum and renal tissue HBsAg-negative patients with nephritis were group B; 24 serum HBsAg-positive and renal tissue HBsAg-negative patients with slightly increased serum creatinine without nephritis were group C. Clinical manifestations, laboratory indices and renal biopsies were recorded. Expression of Foxp3, CD4 and CD25 in renal tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. In group A, 74.1% were serum HBeAg-negative, with serum complement C3 level of 0.99±0.27 g/l, and deposition rates of renal complement C3 and C1q in renal tissue of 34.9 and 16.3% respectively; 25.9% were serum HBeAg-positive, with serum complement C3 level of 0.19±0.17 g/l, and deposition rates of renal complement C3 and C1q in renal tissue of 80 and 46.7%, respectively. A significant difference was found in C3 and C1q between HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive group (P<0.05). Increased urinary protein and decreased serum albumin were found in patients in group A with moderate levels of HBV DNA compared with patients with low levels of HBV DNA in the same group over 24 h (P<0.05).
