Touch not the cat bot a glove*: ANCA-positive pauci-immune necrotizing glomerulonephritis secondary to Bartonella henselae.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 36-year-old male presented with a secondary, but anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) (proteinase-3) positive, vasculitis with renal insufficiency due to a pauci-immune necrotizing glomerulonephritis. An infective process was initially excluded by blood cultures and an echocardiogram prior to immunosuppression. The patient's condition failed to improve and re-evaluation confirmed infective endocarditis requiring valve replacement. Subsequent tissue cultures identified Bartonella henselae. Antibiotic treatment led to full resolution of physical, biochemical and immunological markers. This is the first case of B. henselae endocarditis-associated ANCA positivity with a pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. It demonstrates the importance of revisiting standard investigations in patients not improving expectantly on conventional therapy.
