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

Vasculitis is an inflammatory disorder of the blood vessels that causes damage to a wide variety of organs through tissue ischemia. Vasculitis is classified according to the size (large, medium, or small) of the blood vessels. In 2020, VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome, a novel autoinflammatory syndrome, was described. Somatic mutations in methionine-41 of UBA1, the major E1 enzyme that initiates ubiquitylation, are attributed to this disorder. This new disease entity connects seemingly unrelated conditions: inflammatory syndromes (relapsing chondritis, Sweet's syndrome, or neutrophilic dermatosis) and hematologic disorders (myelodysplastic syndrome or multiple myeloma). Notably, such patients sometimes develop vasculitis, such as giant cell arteritis and polyarteritis nodosa, and fulfill the corresponding classification criteria for vasculitis. Thus, vasculitis can be an initial manifestation of VEXAS syndrome. In this research topic exploring the link between autoinflammatory diseases and vasculitis, we first provide an overview of the disease mechanisms and clinical phenotypes of VEXAS syndrome. Then, a literature review using the PubMed database was performed to delineate the clinical characteristics of vasculitis associated with VEXAS syndrome. Finally, the therapeutic options and unmet needs of VEXAS syndrome are discussed.
