Highlights in clinical medicine-Giant cell arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and Takayasu's arteritis: pathogenic links and therapeutic implications.
Review in Clinical and experimental medicine, 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
Giant cell arteritis (GCA), frequently associated with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), and Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) are characterized by extensive vascular remodeling that results in occlusion and stenosis. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the onset of GCA/PMR and TAK are still hypothetical. However, similarities and differences in the immunopathology and clinical phenotypes of these diseases point toward a possible link between them. The loss of tolerance in the periphery, a breakdown of tissue barriers, and the development of granulomatous vasculitis define a disease continuum. However, statistically powered studies are needed to confirm these correlations. In addition to glucocorticoids, inhibition of the interleukin-6 axis has been proposed as a cornerstone in the treatment of GCA/PMR and TAK. Novel biologic agents targeting the pathogenic pathway at various levels hold promise to achieve glucocorticoid-free sustained remission.
