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

Polyangiitis overlap syndrome (POS) is a diagnostic term coined by Leavitt and Fauci that characterises patients with overlapping features of more than one vasculitis. Prior case studies of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated POS have only been published in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis alongside proteinase-3/cytoplasmic (C)-ANCA positivity. We present a case of a 60-year-old woman with dyspnoea, hemoptysis, positive perinuclear-ANCA and renal biopsy demonstrating evidence of microscopic polyangiitis. In addition, our patient also had asthma, mononeuritis multiplex, eosinophilia and migratory pulmonary infiltrates, thus fulfilling the criteria for EGPA. This novel case report suggests that POS is not limited to C-ANCA positivity and has variable presentations.
