Successful reconstruction of an ocular defect resulting from granulomatosis with polyangiitis, following treatment with rituximab.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo report a unique case of orbital inflammatory disease which was ultimately diagnosed as granulomatosis with polyangitis (GPA) and thus successfully treated. OBSERVATION: A 47 year-old man presented with a rapidly progressive necrotic soft tissue mass within the medial antero-superior aspect of the right eyelid and orbit. He also had transient retinal vasculitis in the left. Serology, histology and imaging were atypical of, but consistent with, GPA. He was thus successfully treated with intravenous rituximab followed by reconstruction of the medial eyelid. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: A high index of suspicion of GPA is required in orbital inflammatory disease, especially when typical diagnostic findings are absent.
