Symptomatic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive disease complicating subacute bacterial endocarditis: to treat or not to treat?
Article in Case reports in nephrology and urology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
A 54-year-old man was diagnosed with Streptococcus mutans endocarditis of the mitral valve. Serological tests disclosed the presence of multiple autoantibodies including c-ANCA, anti-PR3 and anti-MPO. While the fever subsided with antibiotics, mental status and renal function deteriorated rapidly. Kidney biopsy revealed pauci-immune glomerulonephritis and acute eosinophilic interstitial nephritis. The abnormal clinical features improved rapidly after addition of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide to the antibiotics. Immunosuppressive agents may be required in a fraction of the patients with infective endocarditis who develop ANCA and ANCA-mediated renal disease. Histological identification of the type of renal disease is imperative for the choice of the treatment.
