A Case of Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Diagnosed at Autopsy.

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
Herein is reported a case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis, diagnosed at forensic autopsy in an 83-year-old woman with a history of Alzheimer disease. Significant findings at autopsy were cardiac hypertrophy, nephroarteriolosclerosis, hemorrhagic lungs, and necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with vasculitis involving the lungs and kidneys. Semiquantitative immunofluorescence testing was positive for cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies at a titer of 1:40. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for proteinase 3 was strongly positive at 134 units (reference range: positive greater than 30 units). The cause of death was therefore determined to be granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Presentation of GPA at such an advanced age is rare, especially with the presentation at death.
