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 present cohort study aimed to evaluate the value of CCL23 in diagnosis, disease activity, and prognosis in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV).

methodsCCL23 levels in serum samples from 317 patients with AAV and 83 healthy controls (HCs) were measured using a customized immune response kit.

resultsPatients with AAV had significantly elevated CL23 levels compared with HCs. CCL23 level was closely related to disease activity and was better than birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) in distinguishing disease relapse from remission (area under curve: CCL23 = 0.942, BVAS = 0.84). Elevated CCL23 level was associated with poor prognosis within a 1 year follow-up period in patients with AAV (p = 0.0001). The ability of CCL23 to predict the poor prognosis of disease is better than that of five-factor score. Furthermore, elevated CCL23 levels were a risk factor for renal involvement (odds ratio = 1.722, p = 0.033), and were significantly related to serum creatinine (r = 0.381, p = 0.009) and eGFR (r = - 0.382, p = 0.01) at the time of diagnosis. High CCL23 level at diagnosis was associated with increased adverse outcomes during 1 year follow-up in patients with AAV with renal involvement (p = 0.0242).

conclusionElevated serum CCL23 level was closely related with disease activity and renal involvement in patients with AAV, can be a potential biomarker for diagnosis, and can predict prognosis in patients with AAV, especially adverse renal prognosis.
