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

Takayasu arteritis is a rare, chronic large vessel vasculitis that primarily affects women aged 10 to 40 years of Asian descent. The inflammatory processes of the disease can result in stenosis and/or occlusion of the aorta and its branches, causing a wide range of symptoms. Rarely, damage of the elastic lamina or muscular media can cause aneurysmal dilation of the affected vessel. Diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation, laboratory proof of inflammation, and imaging finding of wall thickening in the acute phase and later arterial stenosis or occlusion. Management includes disease control with immunosuppression and some patients might require revascularization. Here, we present a rare case of Takayasu arteritis with both right common carotid artery aneurysmal dilation and stenosis at a conforming site. Although aneurysmal dilation has been sparsely reported in the Takayasu arteritis literature, our case may represent the distinct finding of concomitant dilation and stenosis in this disease.
