Case report: Takayasu arteritis in a 3-month-old Chinese girl.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
rationaleTakayasu arteritis is a rare large vessel systemic vasculitis that predominantly affects the aorta and its main branches in women of childbearing age. Due to nonspecific symptoms during the acute phase of disease, early diagnosis is still a challenge for pediatricians. PATIENT CONCERNS: We reported a 3-month-old girl who presented with sustained elevated levels of acutephase reactants, which could not be explained by infectious diseases and malignant diseases. DIAGNOSES: The patient's angiography showed dilatation, stenosis, and inflammation of the aorta and its branches and was diagnosed as Takayasu arteritis.
interventionsWe prescribed glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressive agents, which include cyclophosphamide used as an induction drug for 6 months, and mycophenolate mofetil used as a maintenance drug. Glucocorticoids gradually stopped. OUTCOMES: At present, the girl went into clinical remission with normal levels of acute-phase reactants and improvement of vascular inflammation demonstrated by angiography. LESSONS: This case report illustrates that Takayasu arteritis can occur in children at a very early age after birth before apparent clinical symptoms.
