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

The incidence of symptomatic vasculitis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients is approximately 1%, and it commonly presents as arterial occlusive disease or aneurysmal disease. Early diagnosis of vascular complications in those patients is essential; however, it is extremely challenging. Iliac aneurysms are usually silent, and because of their deep location, detection of these aneurysms is typically difficult. Therefore, they always continue to be asymptomatic until rupture unless they are discovered incidentally on a radiological investigation for an irrelative condition. We present the case of a 61-year-old HIV-positive man with bilateral iliac aneurysms and total coronary artery occlusion presenting with a leg ulcer.
