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

The ongoing debate on whether lymphocytic thrombophilic arteritis (LTA) is a separate disease or a type of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) has yet to be settled. In this study, we analyzed the nature of infiltrating cells in LTA to resolve this controversy. Skin biopsies from five female patients (mean age 29.4 years, age range 16-45 years) diagnosed with LTA were immunostained for CD3, CD20, CD68, lysozyme, myeloid cell nuclear differentiation antigen, myeloperoxidase, and PU.1. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the majority of mononuclear cells in all five cases were not lymphocytes but myelomonocytic cells. Given that the infiltrating cells are of the myelomonocyte lineage including immature myeloid cells, PAN was deemed the more appropriate diagnosis for the five cases rather than LTA. Whether PAN with immature myeloid cells (histiocytoid PAN) is the same disease as conventional PAN with mature neutrophils requires further investigation.
