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 78-year-old woman with severe auditory disturbance was referred to our hospital and was diagnosed with otitis media with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody -associated vasculitis (OMAAV). The auditory disturbance improved moderately with prednisolone 40 mg/day, but multiple pulmonary masses were detected on chest computed tomography six months later. Transbronchial lung biopsy revealed granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Administration of prednisolone 50 mg/day and cyclophosphamide 500 mg once every two weeks for 12 weeks improved the lung lesions, but no further improvement in the hearing ability was observed. Prednisolone monotherapy was not able to prevent progression of OMAAV to GPA.
