CNS Vasculitis: an Approach to Differential Diagnosis and Management.
Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
purpose of reviewThe goal of this review is to provide an up-to-date approach to diagnosis and management of patients with central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis. RECENT
findingsChallenges in diagnosis of CNS vasculitis still exist due to the broad differential diagnosis and generally nonspecific initial clinical manifestations. Differentiation between primary angiitis of the CNS (PACNS) and secondary causes is important in guiding management. Recent longitudinal cohort studies have improved our understanding of PACNS. Advances in neuroimaging and molecular testing have enhanced diagnostic decision-making. Therapy remains largely empiric, guided by observational data. Despite the limited use of targeted therapies, glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide remain the mainstays of therapy in PACNS. Securing a diagnosis through a careful, team-based approach with emphasis on ruling out possible mimics is paramount in the management of patients with CNS vasculitis.
