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

backgroundSeveral immunosuppressants have been used to treat children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS). Mizoribine (MZR) is an immunosuppressant used to maintain remission in children with SDNS, although its effectiveness for treating SDNS remains controversial. Therefore, in this study, we assessed the clinical factors associated with children having SDNS who were successfully treated with MZR.

methodsA total of 47 children with SDNS who underwent MZR treatment were retrospectively evaluated. Clinical features including pharmacokinetics after MZR administration were compared between MZR responders and non-responders.

resultsThe comparison of the two groups revealed no significant differences in age, body weight (BW), daily dose of MZR per BW, serum concentration 2 h after administration (C

conclusionsMZR is a useful immunosuppressant for treating frequent-relapse NS in children who are susceptible to the drug. The efficacy of MZR may be associated with not only serum concentrations defined by the dosage or absorption efficiency through MZR transporters, but also the susceptibility defined by the expression level and performance of MZR transporters on the target cells.
