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

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) commonly presents with glomerulonephritis and inflammation of upper and lower respiratory tracts. It can also involve other organs including those of the urinary tract. The involvement of the urethra is very rarely reported. We present a case of GPA in a patient who had recurrent urinary tract infections and an acute bladder outlet obstruction due to a urethral thickening by GPA. In this report, we discuss urethral involvement with GPA. The incidence of such involvement, as with other urinary tract organs, might be underestimated. It can affect both sexes, with male predominance, and can occur at any age. It responds to standard GPA medical treatment but may require surgical intervention. Rheumatologists should be aware of this limited form of GPA as early recognition and treatment can decrease the risk of complications.
