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

backgroundIgA nephropathy (IgAN), a major cause of primary glomerulonephritis, is closely associated with malignant hypertension (MHT). This study aimed to explore the clinicopathological characteristics and renal prognosis of patients with IgAN combined with malignant hypertension kidney injury (IgAN-MHT) and investigate the associations of clinicopathological indicators with prognosis.

methodsIn this single-center retrospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with IgAN-MHT through kidney biopsy between January 1, 2008, and June 30, 2023, in our hospital were enrolled. Cox regression models were used to assess the associations between clinical indicators and renal prognosis in IgAN-MHT patients.

resultsA total of 70 patients were included in the analysis of renal function improvement. During a median follow-up time of 9.4 months, 26 patients (37.1%) achieved renal function improvement. Patients in the improved renal function group had higher hemoglobin levels (p = 0.003), lower serum creatinine levels (p = 0.006), a higher proportion of patients using sulodexide (p = 0.018), and a lower proportion of glomerulosclerosis (p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that a higher proportion of glomerulosclerosis was independently associated with a lower likelihood of renal function improvement (HR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.96-0.99, p = 0.003), while sulodexide administration was independently associated with a higher likelihood of improvement (HR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.18-6.41, p = 0.019).

conclusionThis study revealed that in IgAN-MHT patients, a higher proportion of glomerulosclerosis was independently associated with poorer renal outcomes, while the use of sulodexide showed a significant independent association with improved renal function.
