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

backgroundAnti-rituximab antibodies (ARA) are associated not only with adverse events, such as infusion reactions (IR) and serum sickness, but also with rituximab efficacy. However, the clinical relevance of ARA in children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (SDNS) remains unknown.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed clinical outcomes of 13 children with complicated SDNS receiving repeated single-dose rituximab treatments at 375 mg/m

resultsARA were identified in 5 of 13 patients (9 of 22 samples). Median time to recovery of CD19

conclusionsThe incidence of ARA formation was high in the pre-rituximab samples of patients with complicated SDNS who developed IR during the second or subsequent rituximab doses, suggesting that ARA formation might have an unfavorable impact on the toxicity and efficacy of additional rituximab doses in these patients.
