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

objectiveTo illustrate the utility of a nomogram for the prediction of giant cell arteritis (GCA).

methodA nomogram was constructed from a multivariable logistic regression prediction model with 10 covariates: age, sex, clinical temporal artery abnormality, new-onset headache, jaw claudication, vision loss, diplopia, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and platelet level.

resultsThe magnitude and location of the nomogram scale for each predictor variable graphically illustrates the net effect of each covariate and is especially useful for continuous variables such as age and bloodwork values.

conclusionsNomograms allow integration and synthesis of the relative importance of clinical variables and provide a graphic representation of the odds ratios,
