Bitemporal scalp, lip and tongue necrosis in giant cell arteritis: a rare presentation.
Article in Indian journal of dermatology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 74-year-old man was presented with fever, bilateral throbbing temporoparietal headache, jaw claudication, and bilateral loss of vision. On examination, he had bilateral scalp necrosis with impending necrosis of lip and tongue. Temporal artery biopsy was done, and it was compatible with active temporal arteritis. This is one of the rare presentations of giant cell arteritis where there is simultaneous necrosis of scalp, lip, and tongue, and to the best of our knowledge, it is the first case reported from India.
