Multiple renal infarctions in a patient caused by granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a small-vessel vasculitis that is highly associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. GPA carries an increased risk of organ infarction, but renal infarction is rare. We herein describe a case of multiple renal infarctions caused by GPA. A 66-year-old man presented with hearing loss, nasal discharge, fatigue, and weight loss for several months. Cross-sectional contrast-enhanced computed tomography images revealed multiple low-attenuation areas in both kidneys. He subsequently developed fever and impaired renal function. Blood serum was positive for cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody and a renal biopsy showed granulomatous necrotizing vasculitis. He was diagnosed with GPA and treated with high-dose corticosteroids, plasma exchange, and cyclophosphamide. The patient ultimately entered clinical remission.
