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

The present article reports a case involving a 58-year-old man without cardiovascular risk factors who was admitted to hospital with acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography revealed high-grade arteriosclerotic stenosis of the mid-left anterior descending coronary artery and 80% proximal intermediate branch stenosis, which were treated using three drug-eluting stents. Churg-Strauss syndrome was diagnosed based on the patient's history of asthma, sinusitis, eosinophilia, nasal polyps, transient radiological pulmonary infiltrations and transient paresthesia over the left tibia, and eosinophilic pericardial effusion and eosinophilic infiltrations revealed in a myocardial biopsy. Treatment with prednisone was initiated, followed by treatment with cyclophosphamide. Eosinophil levels returned to normal after nine days of treatment. There is evidence that Churg-Strauss syndrome may promote arteriosclerosis.
