[Bitemporal scalp necrosis : a very rare manifestation of giant cell arteritis].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 71-year-old woman developed progressive spreading of bitemporal scalp necrosis within 4 weeks accompanied by headaches, myalgia of the shoulder girdle and muscle weakness that had started a few months previously. No additional diseases were reported. The suspected temporal giant cell arteritis could be confirmed by temporal artery biopsy. Therapy with glucocorticoids led to a rapid resolution of clinical symptoms and was tapered over 18 months. Recovery of the scalp necrosis emerged following second intention healing and split-skin transplantation of necrotic areas after successful wound conditioning. The case study demonstrates a rare and serious complication of temporal arteritis which is often accompanied by a poor prognosis.
