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

Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) is a rare illness with clinical findings characterized by asthma, eosinophilia, and vasculitis affecting medium and small-sized arteries and veins in a variety of organs. Involvement of the temporal arteries by non-giant cell eosinophilic vasculitis in CSS is quite rare and has only been published as isolated case reports or small patient series. Myocardial infarction due to coronary artery vasospasm is an unusual manifestation of CSS. We describe a case of a 39-year-old woman who had two myocardial infarctions due to severe coronary artery vasospasm and was diagnosed with CSS based on a temporal artery biopsy. During the course of her treatment, she also had another rare manifestation of CSS, monocular blindness reversible with immunosuppressive therapy.
