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

Vasculitis and vasculopathies of the central and peripheral nervous system can be caused by infectious diseases. Vasculitis can lead to stenosis, occlusion and aneurysm formation of blood vessels which may result in stroke or cerebral haemorrhage. In cases of peripheral nervous system involvement mononeuritis multiplex and symmetric peripheral neuropathy are possible. The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, serology, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and neuroradiologic examinations. In cases of peripheral neuropathy neurophysiologic examinations and biopsy of the sural nerve can lead to the diagnosis. A fast and efficient antimicrobial therapy is the most important treatment option. In cases of peripheral neuropathies short-term treatment with corticosteroids and plasma exchange may be helpful.
