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 investigate the correlations between serum antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) and clinicopathological features, induction treatment response, and prognosis of lupus nephritis (LN) patients.

methodsIn this retrospective study, biopsy-proven LN patients from October 2010 to September 2020 were tested for serum ANCA by indirect immunofluorescence and ELISA and were divided into ANCA-positive group and ANCA-negative group. The clinicopathological data of the two groups were analyzed and compared.

resultsThirty-five of 115 patients (30.43%) were seropositive for ANCA. ANCA-positive patients had significantly higher systemic lupus erythematosus activity index and activity index scores, higher 24-h urinary protein, and lower complement three levels (

conclusionsLN patients with ANCA seropositivity at renal biopsy have a significantly higher disease activity, and their pathological manifestations are predominantly proliferative LN. These patients require a more active immunosuppressive therapy with cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil to improve their remission rate.
