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

The utility of Rituximab (RTX) for IgA vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN) is not well established. Up to now, we analysed the largest samples of IgAVN patients treated by RTX with a total of 41 retrieved subjects up to December 29, 2023 in the present systematic review. We assessed the clinical profiles, efficacy, and safety of RTX treatments. The present review showed that the renal function tended to be stabilized (P = 1.000) and urinalysis tended to normalize after RTX treatment with no serious adverse events reported. Moreover, 40% (16/40) of patients was freed use of glucocorticoid after RTX administration (P < 0.001). The remission rate was 92.7% (38/41) and complete remission rate was 46.3% (19/41) in IgAVN patients. Interestingly, 76.9% (10/13) of IgAVN child patients achieved complete remission when compared with 32.1% (9/28) of adult patients (P = 0.017). In summary, our results support the benefit of RTX therapy in IgAVN patients, especially children subjects.
