Atypical Cogan's Syndrome Mimicking Giant Cell Arteritis Successfully Treated with Early Administration of Tocilizumab.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 49-year-old Japanese man with a 2-month history of a fever, headache, and bilateral conjunctival hyperemia was admitted. His condition fulfilled the giant cell arteritis classification criteria (new headache, temporal artery tenderness, elevated ESR) and atypical Cogan's syndrome (CS) with scleritis and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The interleukin (IL)-6 serum level was extremely high. Two weeks after his insufficient response of SNHL and scleritis to oral prednisolone, we administered tocilizumab (TCZ); rapid improvements in scleritis and SNHL occurred. Early IL-6 target therapy can help prevent irreversible CS-induced sensory organ damage.
