Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor-Induced Vasculitis Successfully Treated With Short-Term Corticosteroid Therapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is widely used for preventing neutropenia, and large vessel vasculitis has been recognized as one of its severe adverse events. We report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in a 78-year-old woman in whom fever and right cervical pain developed after administration of filgrastim. Computed tomography and cervical artery ultrasound imaging revealed wall thickening in the right common carotid artery. We diagnosed her with G-CSF-induced vasculitis and administered prednisolone of 50 mg/day (1 mg/kg/day) to her. Her symptoms disappeared in a few days, and prednisolone was discontinued six weeks after initiation. G-CSF-induced vasculitis may be improved with short-term high-dose corticosteroids with rapid tapering.
