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's arteritis (TAK) is a rare, chronic large-vessel vasculitis (LVV) that predominantly affects the aorta, its major branches, and the pulmonary arteries. Recent advances in the diagnosis, clinical course, disease assessment with biomarkers/imaging and new clinical tools, patient-reported outcomes, and new treatment options of TAK are discussed in this review. Conventional angiography, the gold standard method for initial diagnosis, appears to have been replaced with new imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in recent years. MRA and FDG-PET are also promising for the assessment of disease activity. New tools for disease assessment such as Indian Takayasu's Arteritis Score 2010 (ITAS2010) and color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) aim to better characterize and quantify disease activity; however, different imaging modalities in routine follow-up are not incorporated sufficiently in these approaches. Prognosis is possibly getting better, with lower mortality in recent years; however, it is difficult to assess the widely different vascular intervention rates among the clinical series. Leflunomide, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonists, and tocilizumab are new options for patients resistant to conventional therapies. There is a clear need to develop a validated set of outcome measures for use in clinical trials of TAK. The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Vasculitis Working Group has taken on this task, finished a Delphi exercise with experts, and aims to develop a core set of outcomes for LVV in accordance with OMERACT Filter 2.0.
