Hypertrophic pachymeningitis as an important neurological complication of granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Review in Reumatologia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Headache is a common symptom in patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) mainly due to chronic sinusitis or orbital disease. Meningeal involvement may thus remain unrecognized for a long time. This can lead to a significant delay in accurate diagnosis, serious local damage of the central nervous system and high relapse rates. New diagnostic techniques such as contrast MRI allow one to identify inflammation of the dura mater in the course of GPA more frequently. The objective of this article is to characterize hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) in patients with GPA and report diagnostic difficulties associated with this complication.
