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

objectivesThis study describes the spectrum and initial impact of pulmonary manifestations in the primary systemic vasculitides.

methodsDescription and comparison of pulmonary manifestations in adults with Takayasu's arteritis (TAK), GCA, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), eosinophilic GPA (EGPA), polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), using data collected within the Diagnostic and Classification Criteria in Vasculitis study.

resultsData from 1952 patients with primary vasculitides were included: 170 TAK, 657 GCA, 555 GPA, 223 MPA, 146 EGPA, 153 IgAV and 48 PAN. Pulmonary manifestations were observed in patients with TAK (21.8%), GCA (15.8%), GPA (64.5%), MPA (65.9%), EGPA (89.0%), PAN (27.1%) and IgAV (5.9%). Dyspnoea occurred in patients with TAK (14.7%), GCA (7.8%), GPA (41.8%), MPA (43.5%), EGPA (65.8%), PAN (18.8%) and IgAV (2.6%). Cough was reported in TAK (7.6%), GCA (9.3%), GPA (34.8%), MPA (37.7%), EGPA (55.5%), PAN (16.7%) and IgAV (3.3%). Haemoptysis occurred mainly in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Fibrosis on imaging at diagnosis was documented in GPA (1.9%), MPA (24.9%) and EGPA (6.3%). Only patients with AAV (GPA 2.7%, MPA 2.7% and EGPA 3.4%) required mechanical ventilation. At 6 months, the presence of at least one pulmonary item in the Vasculitis Damage Index was observed in TAK (4.1%), GCA (3.3%), GPA (15.4%), MPA (28.7%), EGPA (52.7%), PAN (6.2%) and IgAV (1.3%).

conclusionPulmonary manifestations can occur in all primary systemic vasculitides, but are more frequent and more often associated with permanent damage in AAV.
