ANCA Testing in Clinical Practice: From Implementation to Quality Control and Harmonization.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Analyses for the presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are important in the diagnostic work-up of patients with small vessel vasculitis. Since current immuno-assays are predominantly designed for diagnosis of patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), implementation in routine clinical practice, internal and external quality control, and harmonization are focused on this particular use. However, ANCA testing may also be relevant for monitoring therapy efficacy and for predicting a clinical relapse in AAV patients, and even for diagnostic purposes in other clinical situations. In the current review, the topics of implementation, quality control, and standardization vs. harmonization are discussed while taking into account the different applications of the ANCA assays in the context of AAV.
