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

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are well known to be associated with small vessel vasculitic diseases such as microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), allergic granulomatous angiitis (AGA), and Granulomatosis with poly angiitis: GPA (Wegener's). Disease assessment by 1) vasculitic activity, 2) damage resulting from vasculitis, and 3) patient function, were the required endpoints for the therapeutic trials in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Harmonized steroids and cyclophosphamide or azathioprine are effective for active AAV. In evaluating tools for monitoring disease, titers of ANCA and the levels of CRP were found useful in AAV. However, it will be important for clinicians to observe AAV patients more closely and reduce immunosuppressive drug doses more cautiously, especially to prevent several infections (i.e., deep mycosis, pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and cytomegalovirus). We indicated that strategy of infection control in immunosuppressive therapy for AAV. (J Jpn Coll Angiol, 2009, 49: 93-99).
