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

objectiveAt present, the most appropriate management of Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) with nephrotic-range proteinuria still remains controversial; thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Qingre-Lishi-Yishen Formula (QLYF), integrated with regular oral glucocorticoid and cyclophosphamide intravenous pulse therapeutic regimen in children suffered from moderately severe HSPN with nephrotic proteinuria.

methodsFrom 1 January 2012, to 1 January 2016, totally 150 hospitalized children suffered from HSPN with nephrotic proteinuria were included. All were treated with glucocorticoid and cyclophosphamide, and 100 of them were treated with integrative traditional Chinese decoction QLYF. Patients were followed up for 2 years. Rate of adverse event occurrence, short-term clinical effects, long-term clinical effects, and TCM therapeutic evaluation were all compared.

resultsTotal adverse event rate was lower in the QLYF group (

conclusionCompared with merely using regular oral glucocorticoid plus cyclophosphamide pulse therapeutic regimen, the therapeutic regimen that integrates QLYF with the abovementioned western medicine might be a safe means to decrease the occurrence rate of adverse events and improve short-term and long-term clinical effects in children who suffered from moderately severe HSPN with nephrotic proteinuria.
