Diagnosis and management of adult primary angiitis of the central nervous system: an international survey on current practices.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPrimary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a rare disease, for which no validated guidelines exist. We report the findings of a survey on the clinical practice of physicians who manage adults with PACNS.
methodsAn online survey was distributed through neurology, internal medicine, and rheumatology societies in Canada and Europe. Participants who were directly involved as treating physicians for at least two adult patients with PACNS were eligible for the survey.
resultsNinety-six physicians completed the survey. Most participants were neurologists (n = 38, 40%), internists (n = 34, 35%) or rheumatologists (n = 22, 23%). Participants obtained a CNS biopsy in a median of 25% (IQR: 5-50%) of suspected PACNS cases. When determining the degree to which eight scenarios justified a CNS biopsy, participants achieved fair inter-rater agreement (Gwet's AC
conclusionThis survey illustrates current real-world management of PACNS and emphasizes several areas for which physicians still lack study-based evidence and/or clinical practice guidelines.
