A Rare Presentation of Type-III Takayasu's Arteritis in a 20-Year-Old Female.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Takayasu's arteritis is a rare chronic granulomatous vasculitis that predominantly affects the aorta and its branches. It is estimated to affect 2.6/million/annum, predominantly women in the second or third decade of their lives. This case report describes the case of a 21-year-old female, who initially only had low-grade fever and acrodynia, which over a few months, progressed to arm and leg claudication, weight loss, nausea, headache, and dizziness. A year later, the patient experienced impalpable radial pulses bilaterally, and her CT angiogram revealed multi-level arterial stenosis. A diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis was made and the patient was started on steroids and methotrexate. A consult was made with vascular surgery but no intervention was deemed necessary and the patient responded well to the medical treatment given. Though Takayasu's arteritis is a very rare disease, a detailed history, clinical examination, and investigations can help with early diagnosis.
