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

Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) is a life threatening disease if left untreated which predominantly affects the adult population. As clinical presentation is often non-specific there is a heavy reliance on radiologic, laboratory and biopsy findings in diagnosis. We present a case of a 17-year-old male who presented with a history of tea colored urine and recurrent epistaxis who now complained of cough and congestion. The patient failed multiple courses of outpatient antibiotics and a CT of the chest while in the ED demonstrated multiple cavitary lesions. Subsequent workup and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of GPA. It is important for the Radiologist and other clinicians to keep GPA in their differential when presented with a cavitary lung lesion as prompt treatment is required for good outcomes.
