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

Objective: To characterize the clinical correlates and outcome of inflammatory ocular disease (IOD) among patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV). Methods: Medical records of potential cases of AAV seen at Mayo Clinic from 2003 to 2013, inclusive, were reviewed to identify confirmed cases meeting the diagnosis of AAV using the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference 2012 descriptors. Records of confirmed cases of AAV were then further reviewed for IOD, and clinical characteristics, treatment and outcomes abstracted. Results: A total of 1171 confirmed cases of AAV were identified of which 183 patients (mean age 49.0 years; 51% female; 95% Caucasian) had IOD. The most common manifestation of IOD was injection of the eye (57%) followed by eye pain (46%) and visual acuity loss (18%). Scleritis was the most common type of IOD (22%) followed by episcleritis (21%), orbital inflammation (18%), lacrimal duct stenosis (10%) and uveitis (9%). Oral glucocorticoids were used to treat IOD in the majority of patients (96%). CYC and rituximab were the most frequently used immunosuppressive agents (54 and 36%, respectively). Of those with orbital inflammation, 52% underwent therapeutic surgical intervention. Clinical remission of IOD was achieved in 91% of patients but relapses were seen in 23%. Significant visual acuity loss was observed in only six patients. Conclusion: IOD is a common manifestation of AAV and seen in about 16% of patients with AAV. Scleritis, episcleritis and orbital inflammation are the most common subtypes. Most patients respond well to glucocorticoids and immunosuppression, but relapse of IOD is common.
