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

Immunoglobulin A vasculitis, formerly known as Henoch-Schoenlein purpura, is a rare acute auto-immune condition often associated with infections. We describe an adolescent girl who had recently recovered from COVID-19 infection. She presented with painless hematuria, high blood pressure, purpuric skin rash, bilateral ankle pain and swelling, abdominal pain, and inability to walk. She was admitted and clinically diagnosed with immunoglobulin A vasculitis and started on steroid treatment, to which there was a dramatic response, only to relapse as the steroid was being tapered off. Treatment with azathioprine as a steroid-sparing agent led to complete remission without recurrence. This case also suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection may trigger the development of autoimmune diseases.
