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

Giant cell arteritis (GCA), also known as temporal arteritis, is the most common systemic inflammatory vasculitis occurring in the elderly. Patients usually present with vision loss, headache, jaw claudication, diplopia, myalgia and constitutional symptoms. The most common ocular manifestations are anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), choroidal ischemia and central retinal artery occlusion. Here we describe a case of GCA presenting with vision changes secondary to retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage. Upon temporal artery biopsy, GCA was confirmed and it was found to be accompanied by temporal artery dissection as well. Patient was treated with pulse dose intravenous steroids after which her symptoms improved. Based on our literature review, this is the first reported case of GCA presenting in this manner.
