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

Scleroderma renal crisis is a severe complication of systemic sclerosis with a poor prognosis. Therefore, identifying precipitating factors is essential. Among known risk factors, only few are reversible. On the contrary, anti-C5 therapy appears effective, at least in some cases. We describe a 59-year-old man with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis who developed life-threatening scleroderma renal crisis following ibuprofen administration. Despite aggressive management, he did not improve. Renal biopsy have displayed features of thrombotic microangiopathy but no complement deposition. We then discuss the pathomechanism of scleroderma renal crisis that could drive eculizumab treatment since some renal biopsies exhibit complement deposits and others do not.
