Angiostrongyliasis infection masquerading as granulomatosis with polyangiitis: a case-based review.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pulmonary angiitis is a small vessel vasculitis commonly reported in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) but is rarely attributed to angiostrongyliasis. We report a case of a patient with well-controlled rheumatoid arthritis, who was treated for GPA based on lung biopsy results with glucocorticoids (GC). Upon re-review of the initial pathology, along with peripheral eosinophilia and history of recent travel, the patient was eventually diagnosed with angiostrongylus-like nematode infection. GCs were subsequently discontinued and instead, the patient was treated with anthelmintics with complete resolution of symptoms. Commonly associated with eosinophilic meningitis or abdominal angiostrongyliasis in humans, clinical pulmonary manifestations of this parasite species are rare. With parasitic infiltration of the pulmonary vessels mimicking clinical GPA, diagnosis and treatment can be difficult in these patients. We discuss the third-reported case and first-reported survivor of Angiostrongylus-induced pulmonary angiitis followed by a focused review of the literature.
