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 autoantibody (ANCA)-associated diseases are small-vessel vasculitides, encompassing granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener's granulomatosis), microscopic polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Once considered life-threatening diseases, the introduction of stage-adapted immunosuppressive therapy and medications with decreased toxicity has improved patients' survival. Treatment is biphasic, consisting of induction of remission (3-6 months) for rapid control of disease activity and maintenance of remission (at least 18 months) to prevent disease relapse using therapeutic alternatives that have reduced toxicity. This Review summarizes current treatment strategies for these diseases, with a special focus on long-term follow-up data from key randomized controlled trials and new developments in remission induction and maintenance therapy. Current treatment strategies have substantial short-term and long-term adverse effects, and relapses are frequent; thus, less-toxic and more-effective approaches are needed. Moreover, the optimal intensity and duration of maintenance therapy remains under debate. Clinical trials have traditionally considered ANCA-associated vasculitides as a single disease entity. However, future studies must stratify participants according to their specific disease, clinical features (different types of organ manifestation, PR3-ANCA or MPO-ANCA positivity) and disease severity.
