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

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common major organ manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and causes significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Thus, all patients with SLE should be regularly screened for LN. While new onset glomerular hematuria or proteinuria are suggestive for LN, a kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis and classification. The treatment of LN comprises strict blood pressure control and administration of hydroxychloroquine. Aggressive forms of LN require additional treatment with immunosuppressive induction therapy followed by a maintenance phase for several years. Given the high rate of disease recurrence, life-long follow-up control in specialized centers is necessary. Despite optimal care a significant proportion of patients still develop chronic kidney failure. Better disease activity markers as well as more potent and specific therapeutic agents are thus urgently needed.
