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

introductionGDIgA1 (galactose deficient IgA1) plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and Henoch-Schönlein nephritis (HSN). AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to assess the relevance of serum GDIgA1 level as a prognostic marker in children with IgAN and HSN. MATERIAL AND

methods41 children were included to the study group (15 IgAN, 26 HSN) and 22 to the control group. The following parameters were evaluated at baseline and endpoint: proteinuria, erythrocyturia, serum creatinine, serum IgA, GFR. A kidney biopsy was performed in all patients and evaluated according to the Oxford Classification (1 - present, 0 - absent: M - mesangial hypercellularity; E- endocapillary hypercellularity; S - segmental sclerosis/adhesion; T - tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis), and was calculated as the total score (sum of M, E, S, T). At the end of follow-up, the serum GDIgA1 concentration was measured.

resultsThe serum GDIgA1 concentration in patients with IgAN and HSN was significantly higher than in the control group. No significant differences in mean proteinuria, erythrocyturia, GFR, MEST score, or GDIgA1 in serum, as well as the duration of follow-up between IgAN and HSN were observed. Baseline serum IgA concentration and time to kidney biopsy were significantly higher in children with IgAN than in children with HSN. We observed a positive correlation between GDIgA1 and IgA levels (r = 0.53), and GDIgA1 and serum creatinine levels (r = 0.5), as well as negative correlation between GDIgA1 and GFR (r = -0.37).

conclusionsSerum GDIgA1 level may have a prognostic value in children with IgAN and HSN; however, to fully elucidate its clinical potential further studies performed in larger patient cohorts are required.
