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

This multicenter, retrospective longitudinal study identified primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients with clinically significant renal involvement, and analyzed factors associated with predisposition. To investigate clinical features and long-term prognosis of renal involvement, we compared the clinical outcomes for the entire cohort based on the presence or absence of renal involvement. Among 1306 pSS patients (mean age, 51 ± 12 years; 98% female), 36 (2.8%) had renal involvement; 17 patients had tubular involvement, 15 had glomerular involvement, one had both, and 3 were unclassified. The presence of anti-La antibodies was associated with renal involvement. Over the median 5-year follow-up period, the renal function did not change significantly; however, 44% of patients with renal involvement showed impaired renal function at the last visit. Impaired renal function at the last visit was inversely associated with baseline renal function and hemoglobin levels. Among the entire cohort, the prevalence of lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) was significantly higher in pSS patients with renal involvement than those without. Renal involvement is a rare manifestation of pSS; however, it is associated with impaired renal function and LPD. Therefore, screening for renal involvement is important for preserving renal function and early detection of LPD.
