Treating Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis in an Elderly Patient Using Steroids: A Clinical Study.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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, we report a case of immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) onset in an elderly patient. A 61-year-old male presented to our hospital with palpable purpura on his right leg and abdomen and diffuse abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed thickened intestinal wall and ascites. In addition, his serum IgA and urinary protein levels were elevated. The histopathological finding of palpable purpura indicated vasculitis, and he was diagnosed with IgAV. Accordingly, steroid therapy was initiated. Gradually, purpura and abdominal pain disappeared, and he was discharged on day 26 after admission. Although IgAV is common in children, only few cases have been reported in elderly. Thus, when examining patients, including elderly, with palpable purpura and abdominal pain, the possibility of IgAV should be considered.
