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

Background: During its course, spondyloarthritis (SpA) may be associated with extra-articular manifestations affecting several organs. Renal involvement is one of the most common extra-articular manifestations and is dominated by secondary amyloidosis (AA), immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, and urolithiasis. Other nephropathies such as Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and hyalinosis (FSGS) are less common and are limited to few case reports. Case: We report the case of a patient followed for axial SpA, who consulted, after being lost to follow-up for 3 years, for elevated blood pressure and edema of both lower limbs associated with an hydrocele and bilateral pleural effusion. Biological examinations showed hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and proteinuria. In this context of nephrotic syndrome, the diagnosis of FSGS was confirmed by renal biopsy. Furthermore, the etiological investigation ruled out the causes of secondary FSGS. Conclusion: Renal involvement is a sign of severity in SpA. Its detection and management should be part of the overall management of SpA.
