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 is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology, characterized by necrotizing granulomas. It is an autoimmune disease affecting small- and medium-sized vessels of upper and lower respiratory tract, kidneys, and other organs. We described a case of a patient with otitis media with effusion as the first manifestations of granulomatosis with polyangiitis. A 54-year-old female presented as an urgent case with history of a severe otalgia, hearing loss, vertigo, and fever. The patient was treated with diagnosis of otitis media with effusion and acute rhinosinusitis, but without significant success. She developed an acute kidney dysfunction as a sign of glomerulonephritis with rapidly progressive renal failure. Diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis was confirmed after the histopathological analysis of kidney tissue, not by analysis of middle ear and paranasal sinus mucosa specimens. The patient was treated according to generally accepted protocol, and over time, there was an almost complete recovery.
