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

Iguratimod (IGU) can mitigate the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis through its anti-inflammatory effects. The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of IGU in highly HLA-mismatched renal transplant recipients, in combination with standard immunosuppressive regimen. This pilot study was designed as an open-label, blank-control, randomized clinical trial on patients recruited from a single transplant center in China. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomized to the IGU (n=27) and blank control (n=27) groups. IGU was administrated with the conventional triple immunosuppressive protocol for 52 weeks after kidney transplantation. The incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection rate was 14.8% (4/27) in the IGU group and 29.6% (8/27) in the control group,
