Vasculitis and infections: contribution to the issue of autoimmunity reviews devoted to "autoimmunity and infection".
Review in Autoimmunity reviews, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Infections are associated with secondary forms of vasculitis. However, there is increasing evidence that microbial agents play a role also in primary systemic vasculitides. For a long time it has been noted that Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is involved in polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) although the incidence of HBV-associated PAN seems to decline. Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis has been shown to be strongly associated with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, but this is most striking in Southern Europe and less in Northern Europe. Different microbial agents have been suggested to influence disease expression in other primary vasculitides but no specific association has been established. In Wegener's Granulomatosis (WG) chronic carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is associated with a strongly increased risk for relapsing disease. Various pathogenic pathways for this association have been suggested by clinical and experimental observations. Recent studies even suggest that S. aureus derived peptides, amongst others, may induce proteinase 3-ANCA via idiotypic-anti-idiotypic interactions. Treatment with co-trimoxazole in WG localized to the upper airways may result in (temporary) remission of the disease.
