The frequency of ANCA-associated vasculitis in a national database of hospitalized patients in China.
Article in Arthritis research & therapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
backgroundAnti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of life-threatening autoimmune diseases. The epidemiological data on AAV in China are limited. The aim of the present study is to investigate the frequency, geographical distribution, and ethnic distribution of AAV in hospitalized patients in China, and its association with environmental pollution.
methodsWe investigated the hospitalized patients in a national inpatient database covering 54.1% tertiary hospitals in China from 2010 to 2015. Diagnosis of AAV was extracted according to the definition of International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes and free text. Variables from the front page of inpatient records were collected and analyzed, including frequency, geographic distribution, demographic characteristics and seasonal variations of AAV. The association between various environmental pollutants and frequency of AAV was further analyzed.
resultsAmong 43.7 million inpatients included in the study period, 0.25‰ (10,943) were diagnosed as having AAV. The frequency of AAV was relatively stable during the study period (from 0.34‰ in 2010 to 0.27‰ in 2015). The proportion of AAV increased with latitude (0.44‰ in Northern China and 0.27‰ in Southern China in 2015). Hospitalizations were mostly observed in winter (30.2%). The Dong population, an ethnic minority of the Chinese population, had the highest frequency of patients with AAV (0.67‰). We also found a positive association between the exposure to carbon monoxide and the frequency of AAV (R
conclusionsOur present investigation of hospitalized patients provided epidemiological information on AAV in China for the first time. A spatial and ethnic clustering trend and an association between pollution and the frequency of AAV were observed.
