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

A 60-year-old man with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), which was diagnosed 12 years earlier and managed with prednisolone, was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea and paresthesias in both hands. Laboratory test revealed peripheral eosinophilia along with elevated troponin T and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). The patient's clinical picture was consistent with myocarditis and relapse of EGPA. Endomyocardial biopsy showed marked infiltration of eosinophils in myocardium, which confirmed relapse of EGPA with myocarditis. Thallium-201 and iodine-123-beta-methyl iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid dual single-photon emission computed tomography (TL-BMIPP SPECT), as well as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), also confirmed cardiac involvement. The patient was treated with methylprednisolone and improved dramatically. CMR and TL-BMIPP SPECT performed after discharge showed improvement of abnormal lesions, while anomalies detected by these modalities remained. This is a case of EGPA relapse presenting as myocarditis despite treatment with prednisolone. <
