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

introductionIgA nephropathy (IgAN) can be associated with spondyloarthritis (SpA). The course of SpA-associated IgAN remains largely unknown due to the absence of large cohorts.

methodsThis retrospective study included patients with biopsy-proven IgAN and definite SpA. Kidney biopsies were centrally examined and scored according to the IgAN Oxford Classification. Thirty-two patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, with a male:female ratio of 9:1 and median age of 27 and 37 years at SpA and IgAN diagnosis, respectively. HLA-B27 was positive in 90% of cases, and most patients (60%) presented with ankylosing spondylitis. The mean baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 84 ± 26 ml/min per 1.73 m

resultsRenal biopsy revealed frequent presence of crescents (33%) and interstitial inflammation (18%). Despite almost constant use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, combined with steroids in 13 of 32 patients, renal outcome was particularly poor. After a median follow-up of 5.9 years, 4 patients (12.5%) reached end-stage renal disease and 41% of patients experienced a >50% decrease of eGFR. The mean annual eGFR decline rate was -4.3 ± 6.7 ml/min per 1.73 m

conclusionSpA-associated IgAN is associated with a poor renal outcome, despite frequent use of steroids. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α blockade did not appear to influence the rate of eGFR decline in this setting.
