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

purpose of reviewGiant cell arteritis is a systemic large vessel vasculitis that affects the older population and can cause progressive and at times, devastating complications including vision loss. While this has been commonly diagnosed and treated among vasculitides, the treatment options are limited and can have long-term adverse effects. The purpose of our review on GCA is to identify and discuss the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of GCA as they relate to the most recent data. The review will describe any new data on the diagnosis and treatment of this systemic large vessel vasculitis. RECENT

findingsThe latest data suggests that the mainstay of treatment of GCA remains glucocorticoids but alternate agents are being identified and used in an attempt to reduce the cumulative exposure to glucocorticoids and reduce treatment-related adverse effects while managing and maintaining remission of this systemic disease. There is much more information to collect in terms of identification and standardization of the optimal length of time to treat with glucocorticoids as well as regarding the long-term efficacy of alternate treatments. In addition, investigation continues to identify measureable risk factors to predict outcomes of individual patients with this diagnosis.
