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

backgroundTo investigate the clinical features, kidney pathology, treatment regimens, and clinical outcomes of IgA vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN) with nephrotic-range proteinuria in children.

methodsA retrospective review of children diagnosed with IgAVN between January 2019 and December 2022 was conducted. Participants were divided into two groups based on their urine protein/creatinine (UPCR) levels. Biodata, clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, pathologic features, treatment regimens, and outcomes were abstracted from case records and analyzed.

resultsA total of 255 children were identified, 94 with nephrotic-range proteinuria (UPCR ≥ 200 mg/mmol) and 161 with non-nephrotic proteinuria (UPCR < 200 mg/mmol). Patients in the nephrotic-range proteinuria group were significantly younger and had worse grades of glomerular and acute tubulointerstitial injury compared to those in the non-nephrotic proteinuria group. Higher levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), D-dimer (DD), and fibrin degradation products (FDP), and lower levels of total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), urine creatinine (Cr), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), IgG, CD3 + cells, and CD4 + cells were found in patients in the nephrotic-range proteinuria group. Clinical outcome of patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria was significantly associated with ISKDC grading, proportion of glomerular crescents and severity of acute tubulointerstitial injury.

conclusionsChildren with nephrotic-range proteinuria exhibit more severe disordered immunologic function, hypercoagulability, glomerular and tubulointerstitial pathological damage, and have worse outcomes than those with lower proteinuria levels. Clinicians should pay great attention to the kidney injury and more extensive studies are required to identify optimal treatment regimens to improve outcomes in patients.
