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

aim of the studyThe purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical manifestations and outcomes of patients with adult mixed-type Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) and imaging characteristics of the disease, and to evaluate the efficacy of combined therapy in treating symptoms of HSP. MATERIAL AND

methodsFrom January 2008 to October 2015, 23 patients with adult mixed-type HSP were enrolled. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination and small intestinal enteroscopy were performed for all the patients. For patients with positive urine protein, ultrasonic guided renal needle biopsy with 18G biopsy needle was performed; immunofluorescence and pathologic examinations were performed. Combined therapy with antihistamine drugs, gastric acid suppressants and glucocorticoids was used to relieve abdominal pain, gastrointestinal tract bleeding and urine protein.

resultsThe typical skin manifestation of HSP is distributed purpura in dependent areas. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT examination exhibited the intestinal canal wall thickening and edema. Small intestinal endoscopy showed diffused hyperemia, dropsy, and erosion. All the patients with positive urine protein showed significantly higher IgA levels. With the use of combined therapy, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal tract bleeding disappeared, and urine protein decreased gradually.

conclusionsHigher IgA levels with multiorgan involvement (gastrointestinal, kidney and skin) should make one consider the diagnosis. The combined examination of abdominal contrast-enhanced CT, small intestinal endoscopy and renal needle biopsy is a valuable method for the early diagnosis of adult mixed-type HSP.
