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

A 67-year-old woman presented with hematuria and proteinuria 16 and 11 months ago, respectively. She had been followed up as mixed connective tissue disease and Sjögren's syndrome for over 19 years. Blood chemistry showed no elevated serum creatinine or C-reactive protein but did reveal myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) of 300 U/dL. A kidney biopsy showed pauci-immune focal necrotizing glomerulonephritis. She was treated with prednisolone and rituximab, resulting in normal urinalysis and decreased MPO-ANCA. The complication of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis should not be overlooked when abnormal urinalysis findings appear in the course of connective tissue disease, irrespective of the presence of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
