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

objectivesHenoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is the most common childhood vasculitis, infection is the most essential inducement. We hypothesized that infection could impact the blood routine characteristics and/or outcome of vasculitis. Thus, we aim to find the most common infectious agent in HSP patients and identify convenient indicators to predict renal involvement in HSP patients with infection.

methodWe conducted a retrospective study of 208 HSP children and 98 healthy children. Clinical parameters were compared in those cases.

resultsA total of 68.75% of patients were infected with various pathogens. The mean platelet volume (MPV) (P < 0.02) was lower in HSP patients with infection than patients without infection. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection accounted for the largest proportion (45.77%). MPV in HSP nephritis (HSPN) group was lower than in HSP patients (excluded renal involvement) in patients with MP infection. Logistic regression analysis found that age and MPV were risk factors for the occurrence of MP-infected HSPN. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis showed that the combination of MPV with the onset age at the optimal cut-off point had 81% sensitivity in predicting whether HSP patients with MP infection would develop into HSPN.

conclusionsOur research revealed that MP was the most commonly infected pathogen of children's HSP. MPV was an essential predictor of nephritis in HSP patients with MP infection. This discovery can prompt clinical treatments as well as reduce costs. Key Points • Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) accounts for the largest proportion in HSP children with infection. • MPV can be used as a predictor for the development of MP-triggered HSP to HSPN.
