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

backgroundCardiac manifestations are common and life-threatening in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), which remains poorly studied in China. We aim to investigate its clinical features, associated factors, treatment, and outcomes.

methodsWe reviewed the clinical records of 110 EGPA patients and examined the independent factors associated with cardiac manifestations using multivariate logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic curves determined the cut-off values, and survival was calculated

resultsCardiac involvement was present in 36.4% (40/110) of EGPA patients, which mainly manifested as pericardial effusion (16.4%, 18/110), myocardial involvement (13.6%, 15/110), and heart failure (8.2%, 9/110). The mean age was 42.1 ± 14.23 years with no female/male predominance. Compared with the cardiac-unaffected group, the cardiac-affected group showed a lower rate of biopsy-proved vasculitis (0%

conclusionIn this single-center Chinese EGPA cohort, cardiac manifestations are observed in 36.4% of patients, which primarily presents as myocardial involvement, pericardial effusion, and heart failure, independently associated with eosinophil count. Glucocorticoid combined with cyclophosphamide is the treatment cornerstone for EGPA patients with cardiac manifestations.
