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

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the main causes of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). We herein report a rare case of HBV-associated vasculitis presenting with multiple pulmonary nodules, mimicking granulomatous polyangiitis (GPA), with no abnormalities of the ear, nose, or kidney. A surgical lung biopsy revealed geographic necrosis surrounded by palisading granuloma and capillaritis. Because the HBV surface antigen was positive with a serum HBV-DNA level of 2.9 log10 copies/mL, we first treated the patient with entecavir and 2 weeks of prednisone 50 mg/day. The pulmonary nodules resolved, and seroconversion was observed after one month.
