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

rationaleRelapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune-related disease and may be associated with other autoimmune diseases. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here we reported a case of RP patients with mixed-type AIHA. The patient was diagnosed with RP in March 2008 which was treated and the patient was in stable condition. Laboratory data revealed progressive decrease in hemoglobin during her hospitalization due to pulmonary infection in 2016. Positive Coombs' test and moderate titer of anti-cold agglutinin was detected. DIAGNOSIS: Mixed-type AIHA was diagnosed as a comorbidity in this case given the circumstance that her RP was stable and low-dose oral corticosteroids was enough to maintain remission.

interventionsThe patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and steroids. OUTCOMES: The patient's body temperature dropped and hemoglobin levels rose in 2 weeks. LESSONS: Reports of RP patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) are extremely rare and cases with the mixed-type AIHA has not been reported. Here we describe a case of RP with mixed-type AIHA which was considered as a comorbidity rather than a complication.
