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

The present study analyzed the clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) with hypertension. In the hypertension group, significant differences were found in the age, hypertension history, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure, albumin, serum creatinine, low-density lipoprotein, 24 h urine protein levels, calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR), glomerular sclerosis, segmental sclerosis, ischemic sclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy and vascular lesion compared with the non-hypertension group (P<0.05). The average follow-up time was 35.70 months (5.10-103.77 months). In total, 54 patients reported a 50% decline in e-GFR, eight patients reported progression of disease to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and nine cases of mortality were reported. Survival analysis results suggested that patients with hypertension had a lower cumulative renal survival rate than those without hypertension (P=0.034). Multivariate Cox hazards regression analysis results suggested that DBP [hazard ratio (H), 5.160; CI, 0.865-0.989; P=0.023], age (H, 4.839; CI, 1.008-1.142; P=0.028), sex (H, 5.680; CI, 0.031-0.714; P=0.017), serum creatinine (H, 20.920; CI, 1.035-1.089; P<0.001), uric acid (H, 4.783; CI, 0.982-0.0.999; P=0.029), 24 h urine protein (H, 6.318; CI, 1.079-1.850; P=0.012), e-GFR (H, 4.008; CI, 1.001-1.062; P=0.045) and glomerular sclerosis (H, 8.722; CI, 1.860-21.559; P=0.003), segmental sclerosis (H, 7.737; CI, 7.770-13.219; P=0.005), percentage of ischemic sclerosis (H, 4.729; CI, 1.444-11.945; P=0.030), crescents (H, 5.938; CI, 0.003-0.526; P=0.015), interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (H, 8.128; CI, 0.005-1.052; P=0.043), and vascular lesion (H, 4.049; CI, 1.030-9.766; P=0.044) were risk factors for the development of IMN into ESRD. The results suggested that DBP may be an independent risk factor for the development of IMN with hypertension.
