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

backgroundMicroscopic polyangiitis (MPA), an autoimmune disease, is a subtype of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. The lungs and kidneys are the most common targets, whereas spinal cord involvement is rare.

methodsWe reported the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of a patient with spinal cord MPA.

resultsThe patient showed spinal compression symptoms and was diagnosed with MPA following magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological examination. Spinal compression symptoms were completely relieved after intramedullary lesion resection and postoperative treatment with methylprednisolone.

conclusionThe diagnosis of MPA without typical manifestations can be challenging. MRI and histological examination are of great importance in spinal cord MPA diagnosis. Intramedullary lesion resection is an effective treatment for spinal cord MPA. Methylprednisolone is also recommended for postoperative treatment.
