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

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) secondary to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is rare in clinical practice and may present as severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with high mortality. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been reported to be a salvage treatment providing the time necessary for immunosuppressive treatment in cases accompanied by severe ARDS. Prone positioning (PP) has been proven to reduce the mortality in patients with severe ARDS. However, there is no consensus about choosing PP or ECMO in severe ARDS due to DAH secondary to ANCA-associated vasculitis. We reported a case of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)-related DAH and severe ARDS treated with PP successfully providing the time necessary for early glucocorticoids and plasma exchange to control the underlying disease. Since anticoagulation therapy is not necessary in PP, it does not increase the risk of bleeding tendency unlike ECMO. PP has a life-saving role in the management of patients with severe ARDS due to ANCA-associated pulmonary vasculitis.
