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

backgroundChronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is one of the most common autoimmune peripheral neuropathies in adults. Membranous nephropathy (MN), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and other nephropathy have been reported in CIDP patients and are possibly correlated to CIDP pathogenesis. This study reviewed the previously described cases of patients with CIDP and nephropathy in order to provide comprehensive evidence on the diagnosis and treatment regarding CIDP patients in the context of renal diseases.

methodWe reviewed our database to identify patients with CIDP and nephropathy. Online database including PubMed, EMBASE, and OVID were searched for relevant cases.

resultsWe identified a total of 18 cases with CIDP and nephropathy, including 2 cases from our database and 16 ones from online searching. A predominance of male was observed [14 (77.8%)] with the mean age of 53.3 (standard deviation, SD: 16.6) years old. Almost all patients complained paresthesia in distal limbs (94.4%), except one only presented weakness of four extremities. Corticosteroids were prescribed for 14 (77.8%) patients, and 10 showed responsiveness. Three patients experienced relapses during the gradual tapering of steroids.

conclusionThe same immune-mediated pathogenesis may be involved in CIDP and concomitant nephropathy. Male and sensory-predominant CIDP are red flags for complications of renal diseases in CIDP patients. Corticosteroids remain the first-line treatment for CIDP when complicated with renal diseases. Slower tapering or long-term maintenance of steroids may be beneficial for the prognosis of patients with CIDP and nephropathy.
