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

Giant cell arteritis is a common form of vasculitis, although involvement of the aorta is unusual. There is no established association between giant cell aortitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection. We present the case of a 46-year-old female coinfected with HIV and HCV who had never received antiretroviral therapy and developed symptoms of deteriorating shortness of breath on exertion. Investigations demonstrated aortic root and ascending aorta dilatation, along with severe aortic valve regurgitation, for which the patient underwent valve-sparing aortic root replacement (a David procedure). Histopathology confirmed giant cell aortitis.
