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

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic vasculitis characterised by bronchial asthma, hypereosinophilia, and systemic vasculitis. History of asthma with blood eosinophilia and multiorgan involvement are the important clues to suspect EGPA. In the original paper by Churg and Strauss cardiac, gastrointestinal tract, renal, and neurological involvement were noted more frequently. The pattern of neurological involvement may be mononeuritis multiplex, and symmetrical and asymmetrical polyneuropathy. Mononeuritis multiplex was present in 78.1% while cranial nerves were involved in only 4.1% of cases. Glucocorticosteroids and immunosuppressants, especially cyclophosphamide, have considerably improved the prognosis and overall survival rates in patients with systemic vasculitis, including eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The authors present a clinical case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis with severe mononeuritis multiplex. The case reflects the successful application of a cyclophosphamide regime as a remission inducer.
