Pseudovasculitis: mechanisms of vascular injury and clinical spectrum.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Pseudovasculitis, vasculitis-like syndromes, or mimics of vasculitis represent a heterogeneous collection of disorders that are capable of simulating a vasculitic disorder. Some conditions such as cardiac myxomas, cholesterol embolization, and fibromuscular dysplasia are more apt to cause confusion, but numerous other conditions can do so also. Inappropriate diagnosis leads to delay or absence of proper management and exposure to potentially deleterious treatment modalities such as corticosteroids and cytotoxic agents. The diagnosis of a pseudovasculitic disorder requires a high index of suspicion and should always be part of the differential diagnosis of vasculitis. The endothelium is thought to be pivotal in vascular injury; much has been learned using in vitro human umbilical vein endothelial cell cultures. Application of this knowledge to human disease and to vasculitic disorders and their imitators is still premature.
