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

backgroundImmunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by potential recurrence. PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the prevalence of and factors associated with IgAV recurrence. The clinical phenotypes of childhood- and adolescent-onset IgAV were described and compared.

methodsThis retrospective cohort analysis included patients aged ≤18 years and diagnosed with IgAV treated in a tertiary academic center between January 2010 and December 2022. Recurrence was classified by the reappearance of purpuric/petechiae or other features that reappeared after at least 1 asymptomatic month.

resultsThe 361 patients with IgAV had a mean age of 7.7±3.9 years; 53.2% of them were female. All patients with IgAV exhibited skin manifestations. Gastrointestinal (GI) and musculoskeletal (MSK) features were observed in 214 (59.3%) and 219 patients (60.7%), respectively. Renal involvement was observed in 82 patients (22.7%). The prevalence of childhood- and adolescent-onset IgAV was 269 (74.5%) and 92 (25.5%), respectively. Patients with childhood-onset IgAV had significant GI manifestations (P=0.01), had MSK features (P=0.002), and required hospitalization (P=0.004). In contrast, patients with adolescent-onset IgAV had significant renal involvement (P<0.001) and required a longer duration of corticosteroids treatment (P<0.001). Of the study population, 119 patients (35.6%) experienced recurrence. During the 12-month follow-up period, 98 patients (27.1%) had recurrent IgAV at a median 1.9 months (interquartile range, 1.2-4.8 months). On the multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, corticosteroids treatment was significantly associated with IgAV recurrence (hazard ratio, 1.99; 95% confidence interval, 1.266-3.157; P=0.003).

conclusionRenal involvement was more prevalent in adolescent-onset IgAV, whereas MSK and GI involvement were more common in childhood-onset IgAV. Recurrence was noted in 35.6% of the population. Therefore, vigilant monitoring for recurrence is necessary.
