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

Nowadays, the pathogenesis of minimal change disease (MCD) is still not well-known, and the current understanding on MCD is mainly based on data derived from children, and very few adults. Here, we comprehensively analysed the correlation between the changes of peripheral basophils and the incidence rate and relapse of adult-onset MCD. The results showed that in patients at the onset of MCD, the ratio and activation of basophils were all higher than those of healthy controls (all P < .05). In vitro test results showed that basophils from healthy controls can be activated by the serum taken from patients with MCD. Among 62 patients at the onset of MCD, with complete remission after treatment and 1 year of follow-up, the relative and absolute basophil counts before treatment were higher in the long-term remission group (n = 33) than that of the relapse group (n = 29). The basophil counts were significantly higher in the infrequent relapse group (n = 13) than that of the frequent relapse group (n = 16; P < .05). These findings suggested that basophil may play a pathogenic role in adult-onset MCD, and the increased number and activation of peripheral basophils could predict recurrence in adult MCD.
