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

A 68-year-old man presented with right buccal ulceration along the facial artery, temporal pain, lagophthalmos, diplopia, and tongue deviation to the right. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed bilateral temporal artery and right maxillary artery wall thickening, and a diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) was made according to the American College of Rheumatology 1990 criteria. Treatment with corticosteroids ameliorated his symptoms. This is the first report of GCA with buccal skin ulceration along a facial artery. Because a delayed diagnosis can lead to irreversible damage, it is essential to notice rare symptoms, such as skin ulceration and multiple cranial neuropathy-like symptoms.
