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

backgroundKimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease and the etiology remains uncharacterized. The typical manifestations are painless lymph node or subcutaneous masses. There is currently no report of prominent renal interstitial injury and cardiac insufficiency in KD. CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old man was referred to our hospital with dark urine, subcutaneous masses in forehead and right retroauricular, multiple lymphadenopathy and unexplained cardiac insufficiency. Renal biopsy demonstrated eosinophilic interstitial nephritis. Laboratory tests revealed eosinophilia and a high level of serum IgE. A biopsy of cervical lymph node was performed and KD was diagnosed. Treatment with oral prednisone resulted in a decrease of eosinophil, serum IgE, improvement of cardiac function, and regression of the subcutaneous mass.

conclusionsWe describe an extremely rare KD case presenting with eosinophilic interstitial nephritis, cardiac insufficiency and significant response to prednisone. The clinicians should improve the disease awareness and find optimal treatment.
