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

Introduction: Malignant hypertension (mHTN) is a hypertensive emergency. Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a widespread complication of mHTN. Few studies have evaluated whether glomerular hematuria provides prognostic information for renal dysfunction in patients with mHTN-associated TMA. Methods: This observational cohort study included 292 patients with mHTN-associated TMA based on renal biopsy. Propensity-score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to adjust for clinical characteristics in a comparison between with and without glomerular hematuria. Cox regression was employed to identify risk factors for renal prognosis. Results: A total of 70 patients with glomerular hematuria were compared to 222 patients with non-glomerular hematuria. After PSM, 67 pairs of patients with mHTN-associated TMA were matched. Patients with glomerular hematuria exhibited lower serum albumin levels, higher 24-h proteinuria, and a higher prevalence of glomerular sclerosis than those with non-glomerular hematuria. Glomerular hematuria was independently associated with deteriorated renal function compared with non-glomerular hematuria (HR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.29-0.89, Conclusion: Glomerular hematuria is significantly associated with an increased risk of adverse renal outcomes in patients with mHTN-associated TMA.
