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

purposeTo evaluate the clinical features of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and explore the risk factors of disease activity and renal damage.

methodsA retrospective study involving 194 patients were performed. Patients were divided into lupus nephritis (LN) group (63.40%) and non-LN group (36.60%), different disease activity group, and different renal function group according to the clinical data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that albumin (ALB), uric acid (UC), total cholesterol (TC), and anti-dsDNA antibodies were the influencing factors of LN in patients with SLE (P < 0.05); ALB, UC, and complement 3(C3) were the influencing factors of lupus disease activity (P < 0.05); UC, C3, and hemoglobin (HB) were the influencing factors of abnormal renal function in SLE patients.

resultsThe results of the ROC curve showed that ALB, UA, and TC had certain predictive value for combined LN in patients with SLE, and the predictive value of ALB was greater than that of TC (P < 0.05); ALB, UA, and C3 being predictors of the activity of patients with SLE; BUN, UA, and HB all had certain predictive value for the abnormal renal function in patients with LN. SLE patients have the high incidence of renal impairment.

conclusionThe results of this study suggest that patients with SLE should regularly monitor the levels of ALB, UA, TC, C3, and HB, as well as pay attention to the intervention of hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia in patients with SLE to better control disease progression.
