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

objectiveTo investigate distinct features of renal involvement in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and to identify potential factors associated with renal involvement.

methodsFour hundred and thrity-four pSS patients from the Rheumatology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from 2013 to 2017 were included in a cross-sectional study. Patients with renal involvement were compared with their age- and gender-matched controls (pSS without renal involvement). Demographic, clinical, histological, nephritic, immunological features of renal involvement in pSS were systematically analyzed. Possible factors related to renal involvement were identified using multivariate logistic regression analyses.

resultsOne hundred and ninety-two pSS patients (88.48%) with renal involvement were women with mean age of nearly 58 years and mean disease duration of above 4 years. Clinical manifestation, serologic and immunological features and renal biopsy class of the pSS patients with renal involvement were presented. By multivariate analyses, xerophthalmia, histological positivity for lower salivary gland biopsy (LSGB), anti-SSA/Ro52-positive, reduced complement 3 (C3) levels, hypoalbuminemia and anemia retained significant association with renal involvement in pSS (all P < 0.05).

conclusionIn addition to LSGB pattern, anti-SSA/Ro52-positivity, reduced C3 levels, hypoalbuminemia and anemia, also indicate significant association with renal involvement in pSS. Therefore, early vigilance is required for patients with these clinical manifestations.
