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

backgroundDuring the run-in phase of the TESTING study, approximately half of patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) were excluded due to proteinuria below 1 g/24 h after intensive supportive therapy. The long-term prognosis of these patients needs further investigation.

methods112 screening failed patients in the TESTING study from 10 centers in China were enrolled in this retrospective study. The prognosis of 88 patients, who were excluded because of proteinuria below 1 g/24 h, was analyzed by Landmark Kaplan-Meier analysis. The composite kidney endpoint was defined by

resultsIn total, 88 patients were excluded due to proteinuria less than 1 g/24 h. During the follow-up, 73/88 (83.0%) patients received renin-angiotensin system blocker. 72/88 (81.8%) had stable proteinuria remission and did not receive immunosuppressive therapy (IST), and 16/88 (18.2%) received IST because of a relapse of proteinuria. Landmark Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that, the kidney survival from dialysis or composite kidney outcome of these excluded patients with IST was similar to those without IST during the early stages of follow-up (dialysis, before 60 months,

conclusionsIgAN patients who maintained a persistent remission of proteinuria after intensive supportive therapy had a much better long-term kidney outcome than those who experienced a relapse of proteinuria and needed IST.
