Successful treatment of Takayasu arteritis with rituximab as a first-line immunosuppressant.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Takayasu arteritis is a rare large vessel vasculitis which has traditionally been treated with high-dose steroids. There have been a small number of publications where biological agents have been used to manage refractory cases. To the authors knowledge, there are no publications using biological agents in combination with steroids as a first-line treatment in Takayasu arteritis. In this publication, we document the case of Takayasu arteritis, in a 39-year-old woman, where rituximab was used in combination with steroids as a first-line agent in the setting of poorly controlled bipolar affective disorder.
