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

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is an autoimmune small-vessel vasculitis often positive for perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p-ANCA), or anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO), that classically affects the lungs, kidneys, and skin. Several atypical presentations of MPA involving other organs have also been reported in the literature. We report a unique case of a patient who presented with rare presentations of MPA: hearing and vision loss, dysphagia, renal dysfunction. Despite the atypical nature of her symptoms, her p-ANCA serology was positive and kidney biopsy was consistent with MPA. Regardless of the bizarre nature of a patient's symptoms, we highlight the importance of considering MPA as a differential diagnosis in the setting of positive p-ANCA serology.
