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

objectiveTo observe the efficacy and safety of multi-target (tacrolimus + mycophenolate mofetil + prednisone) therapy for type III + V and IV + V type lupus nephritis.

methodsA total of 56 patients with lupus nephritis were randomly divided into a treatment group receiving multi-target treatment and a control group receiving intravenous cyclophosphamide combined with prednisone treatment, with 28 patients in each group. Clinical indicators and adverse reactions were observed before and 4, 12, 24, 48 and 72 weeks after treatment.

resultsOne patient withdrew from the treatment group and two patients from the control group due to adverse reactions within 72 weeks of treatment. Compared with those before treatment, urine protein quantification, ds-DNA antibody titer and systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) scores were significantly decreased at 24 h after 72 weeks of treatment in both groups (P < 0.05). The total remission rate was 85.2% in the treatment group and 57.7% in the control group (P < 0.05) and dte total response rate was 59.3% and 30.8%, respectively (P < 0.05).

conclusionMultiple target treatment of type III + V or IV + V type lupus nephritis has a higher total remission rate, a shorter treatment time, and a lower incidence of adverse reactions than cyclophosphamide and prednisone combined therapy.
