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

introductionHenoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSN) is defined as Henoch-Schönlein purpura with kidney involvement, including hematuria and/or proteinuria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the data of HSN patients who underwent renal biopsy, and compare the main clinical and laboratory parameters that may affect renal biopsy findings, treatment protocols, and short- and long-term outcome of those patients.

methodsBiopsies performed in 72 HSN patients between January 2007 to January 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. They were divided into two groups according to renal biopsy classification of the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children. Renal outcome, clinical and laboratory parameters, treatment protocols, and outcome were compared between groups. Short- and long-term follow-up of patients were evaluated.

resultsOf 72 patients, 47 were male (65.3%) and 44 (61.1%) were ≤10 years of age. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was found higher in patients with scrotal involvement (p=0.042). Short-term unfavorable outcome was significantly higher in patients with scrotal involvement (p=0.038). Patients with hypertension and decreased creatinine clearance were found to have more unfavorable outcomes in long-term follow-up (p=0.029, p=0.040).

conclusionCyclosporin-A and cyclophosphamide could be effective in steroid unresponsive HSN patients. Patients with scrotal involvement, decreased creatinine clearance, and hypertension should be closely monitored for sequelae of HSN.
