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

This study aimed to discover novel serum biomarkers for IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN). The serum of IgA vasculitis (IgAV) patients without nephritis and IgAVN patients not treated with glucocorticoids was analyzed for 440 proteins using a novel quantitative planar protein microarray. To verify the biomarkers, semiquantitative immunofluorescence analysis was performed on selected differential cytokines in a separate cohort of kidney tissue samples. A total of 41 proteins were differentially expressed between the IgAVN and IgAV groups out of the 440 proteins analyzed. Five differentially abundant proteins, including VEGF R3, ADAM12, TIM-3, IL-12p40, and CEACAM-5, were further validated by semiquantitative immunofluorescence analysis in kidney tissue from independent cohorts. ADAM12, TIM-3, IL-12p40, and CEACAM-5 were expressed in kidney tissue. A linear relationship was observed between the pathological grade of IgAVN and the expression levels of ADAM12 and CEACAM-5. Furthermore, while the prognosis of children with IgAVN may have a linear relationship with CEACAM-5, the results did not indicate a significant statistical difference, which may be related to the sample size. The expression of ADAM12 and CEACAM-5 were positively correlated with the pathological grade. More importantly, we found that CEACAM-5 may be related to the prognosis of IgAVN, which could serve as a significant biomarker for assessing disease severity and monitoring disease progression.
