A case report of Henoch-Schönlein purpura in the elderly complicated by multisystem involvement.

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.
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
rationaleHenoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), a vasculitis caused predominantly by immunoglobulin A vasculitis deposition in the blood vessel wall. It frequently affects multiple organs, however, intussusception and cardiac involvement in the elderly is extremely rare. Currently, the diagnosis of patients with atypical HSP is very difficult. Drugs and treatments lack adequate evidence-based medical proof to improve patients' long-term outcomes. We report a case of an elderly patient with allergic purpura involving the intestines, kidneys and heart, and discuss the diagnosis and treatment of patients with atypical clinical symptoms. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 72-year-old woman whose initial symptoms were unusual, and the progression of the disease is irregular. DIAGNOSES: The patient with HSP gradually developed intussusception, renal failure and cardiac involvement. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: The patient developed kidney injury and intussusception, we sequentially administered surgical intervention, glucocorticoids, hemofiltration and hemoperfusion, and her condition showed improvement. Unfortunately, by the time cardiac complications develop, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly. At last, the patient died. LESSONS: HSP with renal failure, intussusception, and cardiac complication is extremely rare. When patients with atypical HSP, we should always be alerted to changes in their condition. And take into account factors such as the severity of symptoms, patient preferences and complications in order to determine the most suitable therapies.
