Clinical effect of combined western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine on children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis.

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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the efficacy of combined Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and its effects on immune function, interleukin (IL)-16, and IL-18 expressione.
methodsThe clinical data of 91 children with HSPN were retrospectively collected and divided into two groups according to the treatment regimen. Group A (n=45) was treated only with western medicine, while group B (n=46) was treated with combined Chinese and western medicine. The clinical efficacy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome points before and after treatment, immune function indices, urinary indices, levels of IL-16 and IL-18, and the recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe total effective rate was 95.65% in group B, higher than 75.56% in group A (
conclusionCombined regimen of western and Chinese medicine in children showed significant efficacy on improving immune function and reducing recurrence rate and IL-16 and IL-18 levels in patients with HSPN.
