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

backgroundNeuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) and lupus nephritis (LN) are two major, life-threatening complications in childhood-onset SLE (cSLE). Data regarding the epidemiology and prognosis of children with concurrent NPSLE and LN remain scarce. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, associated factors, and outcomes of NPSLE in Chinese children with LN.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Paediatric Nephrology Centre of Hong Kong Children's Hospital, including 95 Chinese children with biopsy-proven cLN. Comparisons were made between children with and without NPSLE.

resultsOf 95 Chinese children with cLN, 11 (12%) developed NPSLE, and 31 NPSLE events were reported. Estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionsWorse kidney and patient survivals are observed in cLN patients with NPSLE. Severe LN manifestation and medication non-adherence are associated with the development of NPSLE.
