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

objectiveThe kidney is one of the organs most frequently affected in immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Early identification of IgG4-RD with renal injury by clinical features is a current challenge. There is a paucity of data regarding the clinical features of renal involvement in IgG4-RD. MATERIALS: Patients with the diagnosis of IgG4-RD with and without renal injury were included in the retrospective cohort study. Cox regression analyses were used to investigate the risk factors for disease relapse and to construct the nomogram model.

resultsFrom December 2014 to February 2022, 54 patients with IgG4-RD were retrospectively enrolled. Renal involvement in IgG4-RD was observed in 55.6% of the patients. The differences of age and lacrimal gland accumulation were statistically significant (P < 0.001, and P = 0.034, respectively). Age was significantly higher in the kidney injury group. Regarding laboratory findings, basophil counts, hemoglobin levels, and serum cholinesterase level were significantly lower in patients with renal involvement (P = 0.033, P = 0.006 and P = 0.019). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate level was significantly higher in patients with renal involvement (P = 0.017). Seven (23.4%) patients in the kidney injury group relapsed during follow-up with mean recurrence time 9.86 ± 7.08 months. Early diagnosis plays a key role in patient outcomes. Female, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate level, and elevated complement component 4 are the risk factors for the disease relapse of IgG4-RD patients. Moreover, an effective nomogram model has been developed to predict disease relapse in patients with IgG4-RD.
