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

Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is a syndrome which presents rapid loss of renal function. Vasculitis represents one of the major causes, often related to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). Herein, we report a case of methimazole-induced ANCA-associated vasculitis. A 35-year-old woman complained of weight loss and fatigue for 2 weeks and attended the emergency room with alveolar hemorrhage. She had been diagnosed with Graves' disease and had been taking methimazole in the past 6 months. Her physical examination showed pulmonary wheezing, hypertension and signs of respiratory failure. Laboratory tests revealed urea 72 mg/dL, creatinine 2.65 mg/dL (eGFR CKD-EPI: 20 mL/min/1.73 m
