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 72-year-old woman had a history of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection previously treated with interferon to achieve a sustained virologic response. Thereafter, she developed polyarthritis and purpura of the lower extremities as well as progressive renal dysfunction with hypertension and proteinuria that had occurred in the last three months. Laboratory investigations revealed seropositivity for cryoglobulin but negative findings for HCV RNA. She was ultimately diagnosed with cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis complicated by monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) based on the pathological findings of the kidney and bone marrow, indicating that MGUS-induced cryoglobulinemic vasculitis may occur even after HCV elimination.
