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

Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) has been used to diagnose vasculitis, tuberculosis and malignancy. As PET/CT scans show hotspots during an activation of clinically suspected lesions, they are widely used for diagnosis. However, there are rare cases of PET/CT images for vasculitis combined with tuberculosis. Here, we report a case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis in a patient with disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection in multiple sites mimicking metastatic malignancy and describe the associated PET/CT scan findings before and after treatment. LEARNING POINTS: PET/CT can better inform accurate diagnosis for detecting biopsy sites and differentiating diseases.Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection have been diagnosed simultaneously in this case.The therapeutic response can be assessed with PET/CT in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
