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

Chronic inflammation has been indicated to be important in the pathogenesis of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel marker of inflammation. The present study was thus performed to explore the association between the SII at diagnosis and inflammatory response and disease activity in Chinese patients with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-AAV. Furthermore, it was evaluated whether the SII is able to predict the progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and patient survival. A total of 190 patients with MPO-AAV were included in the present study. The baseline SII was positively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP; r=0.274, P<0.0001) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR; r=0.481, P<0.0001). However, the SII had no obvious correlation with the Birmingham vasculitis activity score. Patients with SII≥2,136.45 exhibited better cumulative renal survival rates than those with SII<2,136.45 (P=0.001). However, no significant difference in patient survival was indicated between patients with SII≥2,136.45 and those with SII<2,136.45 at diagnosis. In conclusion, the SII was positively correlated with CRP and ESR in Chinese patients with MPO-AAV. Furthermore, the SII may be an independent factor associated with a reduced risk of ESRD.
