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

Objectives: The study aimed to describe the characteristics of gastrointestinal (GI) involvement in a cohort of hospitalized children with IgA vasculitis (IgAV) in China. Method: We reviewed the records of hospitalized IgAV patients from January 2014 to December 2020 at one tertiary medical center. The patients were divided into the severe GI group and the non-severe GI group according to the presence of massive GI bleeding and complications. The clinical manifestations, laboratory factors, and treatment were analyzed between the two groups. Results: A total of 1,179 patients were hospitalized due to IgAV. GI involvement was noted in 50% (589) of the patients, of whom 288 (48.9%) had severe GI involvement. GI complications were observed in 34 patients with IgAV with GI involvement. Rare onset age (<3 years or within 13-17 years), purpura above the waist, vomiting, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and decreased serum albumin were factors associated with severe GI involvement. Frequencies of renal involvement and biopsy-proven nephritis were higher in the severe GI group. The most commonly used medications were corticosteroids (100.0%) in the severe GI group. The maximum corticosteroid dose was higher (2.9 vs. 2.0 mg/kg), and more second-line therapies were needed (30.9% vs. 16.94%) in the severe GI group. Conclusions: Severe GI involvement in children is common in our center. Rare onset age, purpura above the waist, vomiting, high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and decreased serum albumin are associated with severe GI involvement. Patients with severe GI involvement need higher doses of corticosteroids and second-line therapy.
