Novel strategy for the treatment of refractory vasculitis syndrome.
Article in Annals of vascular diseases, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The recent development of biologic therapies capable of selectively targeting components of the immune system has revolutionized the treatment of inflammatory arthritides. The increase in the use of biologic agents coupled with expansion in the knowledge of the pathogenesis of vascular inflammation has led to their application in the treatment of primary systemic vasculitis. Biological therapies appear to have a place in the therapeutic strategy for ANCA-associated systemic vasculitides, at least for patients whose disease is refractory to conventional therapy. The use of biologics as targeted therapies has also, in reverse, improved our understanding of the pathophysiology of vascular inflammation. However, the precise indications for TNF-alpha inhibitors or anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies have not yet been defined. These biologics must be prescribed extremely cautiously and only in trial settings, especially in view of the adverse effects. (*English Translation of J Jpn Coll Angiol, 2009, 49: 75-79).
