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

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) can cause hypertension, and severe hypertension can exacerbate the progression of IgAN. However, the long-term kidney outcome of malignant hypertension (mHTN)-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) with IgAN is not well defined. Methods: A total of 292 individuals with mHTN-associated TMA confirmed by kidney biopsy were included. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to adjust for clinical characteristics in the comparison between cases with and without IgAN. Cox regression analysis was utilized to identify risk factors associated with long-term kidney outcome. Results: A total of 86 mHTN-associated TMA with IgAN patients were compared with 206 mHTN-associated TMA with non-IgAN patients. After PSM, 61 pairs of patients with mHTN-associated TMA were matched. The mHTN-associated TMA with IgAN patients exhibited significantly lower serum albumin, higher 24-hour proteinuria, and a higher ratio of global sclerosis than those with non-IgAN. mHTN-associated TMA with IgAN was independently associated with impaired kidney function recovery [hazard ratio (HR), 0.48; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.24-0.96, Conclusions: The long-term kidney outcomes for mHTN-associated TMA patients with concomitant IgAN are significantly poorer than that of patients with non-IgAN. Monitoring kidney pathological characteristics will aid management and risk assessment at an early stage.
