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

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. Early intervention in lupus nephritis improves prognosis. There is an association between hyperuricemia and lupus nephritis; nevertheless, the sex-specific role of uric acid in lupus nephritis remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed 578 patients diagnosed with LN by renal biopsy. We determine the relationship of serum uric acid to progression of LN using Kaplan-Meier survival analyses and Cox proportional hazards models. The primary end point was LN progression defined as the initiation of dialysis or kidney transplantation. Men had higher mean serum uric acid levels than did women. Every 1 mg/dL increase in baseline uric acid level increased the risk of LN progression by 15.1%. The serum uric acid level was an independent risk factor for LN progression in women (hazard ratio [HR], 1.158; confidence interval [CI], 1.018-1.317;
