A case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis mimicking lung malignancy.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) may present with varied manifestations including pulmonary masses and nodules. We report the case of a 45-year-old man presenting with cough, haemoptysis and weight loss in the context of a 20 pack-year past smoking history. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest and positron emission tomography/CT scan demonstrated two right upper lobe masses, bilateral lung nodules and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, with increased fluorodeoxyglucose avidity. Endobronchial and CT-guided lung biopsy demonstrated granulomatous inflammation and elevated c-ANCA/PR3 confirmed the diagnosis of GPA. The patient received induction therapy with methylprednisolone and rituximab with good clinical response. Our case highlights the importance of considering a wide range of differentials in patients with lung masses/nodules, including autoimmune pathologies.
