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

Autoimmune vasculitis is an autoimmune disease that causes various systemic symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, joint pain, and night sweats. Its clinical course depends on the severity of the inflammation, which can cause acute clinical progression of symptoms. Moreover, when the inflammation of the arteries occurs in the deeper parts of the body, a biopsy may be difficult to perform. Here, we report a case of autoimmune vasculitis in an elderly man who visited our hospital with a chief complaint of muscle pain and fever triggered by a rapid paralysis of both lower limbs. Autoimmune vasculitis can cause a variety of systemic symptoms depending on the size of involved arteries, and its clinical course depends on the severity of the inflammation. Prompt diagnosis and simultaneous treatment of symptoms, excluding other likely diseases, prevent the development of severe and long-term complications of autoimmune vasculitis.
