IgA vasculitis (formerly Henoch-Schönlein purpura) in an adult with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
We report a case of a 65-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome, presenting palpable purpuric lesions, necrotic blisters and swelling ankles, after a previous tracheobronchitis episode. Laboratory data were remarkable for mild proteinuria and imaging studies were normal. A skin biopsy showed IgA deposits on superficial dermal capillaries and IgA vasculitis (IgAV) (former Henoch-Schönlein purpura) was assumed. The patient was treated with colchicine, deflazacort and azathioprine, but as a regression in the purpuric lesions was noted, a decline in renal function was detected. A kidney biopsy revealed mesangial proliferation with IgA deposition and IgAV nephritis was considered. Immunosuppressive treatment was adjusted, with progressive normalisation of renal function and disappearance of proteinuria over a monthly follow-up; after 6 months, total remission was achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of IgAV in an adult patient with SLE.
