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

IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis (IgG4-RPF) is a newly recognized entity which often mimics cancer. We aimed to investigate the clinical features and the causes of renal failure, as well as to explore the factors affecting the prognosis of renal function by analysis of the clinical data of patients with IgG4-RPF. We reviewed clinical features of 10 patients with renal failure caused by IgG4-RPF, which was confirmed by pathology review and clinic-pathologic correlations. All patients were male, and the mean age at onset was 64.2 ± 10.0 years. Five patients were revealed with acute renal failure (ARF), while the other five ones with ARF on chronic kidney disease (CKD) (A on C) at diagnosis. Initial favorable responses obtained in 90% of the patients who underwent steroid therapy. The serum creatinine (SCr) level returned to normal in six patients including five with ARF and one with A on C, while those of the rest four patients with A on C restored to baseline levels (GFR remained below 60 ml/min/1.73 m
