Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis in a Nigerian woman.

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
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), previously called Churg-Strauss Syndrome, is a systemic autoimmune disease that is usually associated with asthma and eosinophilia. It is a rare condition associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). We report a case of a 52-year-old Nigerian woman who presented with bilateral leg swelling with multiple ulcers, background history of allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis since adolescence. There were also associated symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, weight loss, peripheral blood eosinophilia and positive perinuclear ANCA and she was previously managed for rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. She fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology criteria for EGPA and was treated with glucocorticoids and methotrexate which led to significant improvement of her symptoms.
