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

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a type of vasculitis in which granulomas deposit in small and medium-size vessels causing inflammation. It frequently affects the respiratory tract, both upper and lower tracts. Glomerulonephritis commonly occurs as well, and other systems can be affected such as the integumentary system and peripheral nervous system. Rarely, urogenital signs and symptoms are present. This report describes a case of a 19-year-old woman who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and a urethral mass and was subsequently diagnosed with GPA. She responded well to treatment with corticosteroids, rituximab, and avacopan. This case highlights the importance of considering alternative diagnoses when a young woman presents with refractory urinary symptoms. It also highlights fertility issues relative to treatment of GPA that are of interest to the practicing obstetrician/gynecologist.
