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

aimsClassifications of occluding vasculopathies (except vasculitis [1]) may exhibit some difficulties. Firstly, classifications may follow different principles, e.g. clinicopathologic findings, etiology or pathogenesis. Secondly, authors may not distinguish between vasculitis and occluding vasculopathies. Thirdly, occluding vasculopathies are systemic diseases. Organ-specific variations make morphologic findings difficult to compare. Moreover, subtle changes are recognized in the skin, but may be invisible in other organs. Our aim was to use the skin and subcutis as a tool and clinicopathological correlation as the basic process for classification. METHODS AND

resultsWe first differentiate in the skin between small and medium vessel occluding vasculopathies. Here we focus on medium vessel-occluding vasculopathies. In the second step we differentiate the vessel subtypes. In the final step, we differentiate according to the time point of the coagulation/reorganization process and the involved inflammatory cells/stromal features. By applying the same procedure to the various entities and visualizing the findings in the style of bar codes, the overlaps and differences in the clinical picture as well as the histopathology become more apparent.

conclusionsOccluding vasculopathies are often not separate entities, but reaction patterns and epiphenomena. Distinguishing them from vasculitides is crucial because of the differences in pathogenesis, therapeutic approach and prognosis.
