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

In the present case we report on a 51-year-old patient diagnosed with Cogan syndrome. This vasculitis of variable vessel size is a rare disease that poses a major challenge for the correct diagnostics and therapy. In the classic setting, it comprises a triad of non-syphilitic interstitial keratitis as well as hearing loss with vestibular dysfunction. A vascultis-related aortitis, an uncertain, more likely degenerative structure in combination with strongly elevated inflammation parameters was misinterpreted as infective endocarditis for a long time and treated with anti-infective medications. After diagnosis the patient recovered following treatment with high-dose steroids and in the further course cyclophosphamide and tumor necrosis factor‑α blockers.
