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

O'Sullivan et al. describe glomerular localization of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and correlate the amount of deposition with severity of injury. MPO is the antigen against which anti-MPO ANCAs are directed, the antigen to which pathogenic T cells that can induce antibody-independent AAV are directed, and MPO can induce glomerular injury directly by interacting with H2O2 and a halide to halogenate glomerular structures. All three of these roles are likely involved in human disease.
