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

In this review, we propose a classification of vasculitides and occluding vasculopathies using the clinicopathological correlation as the basic process. We use an algorithmic approach with pattern analysis, which allows reliable reporting of microscopic findings. We first differentiate between small and medium vessel vasculitis. Second, we differentiate the subtypes of small- and medium-sized vessels. Finally, we differentiate vasculitides according to the predominant cell type into leukocytoclastic and/or granulomatous vasculitis. Regarding leukocytoclastic vasculitis as a central reaction pattern of cutaneous small/medium vessel vasculitides, its relation or variations may be arranged in a wheel-like order. With respect to occluding vasculopathies, the first two steps are identical to the algorithm of vasculitides, and we finally differentiate according to the time point of the coagulation/reorganization process and the involved inflammatory cells/stromal features. By visualizing the criteria in the style of bar codes, clinical and histological overlaps and differences may become more transparent.
