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
Objectives: Risk stratification and prognosis prediction are critical for appropriate management of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV). Herein, we aim to develop and internally validate a prediction model specifically for long-term survival of patients with AAV. Methods: We thoroughly reviewed the medical charts of patients with AAV admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1999 to July 2019. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator method and the COX proportional hazard regression was used to develop the prediction model. The Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration curves and Brier scores were calculated to evaluate the model performance. The model was internally validated by bootstrap resampling methods. Results: A total of 653 patients were included in the study, including 303 patients with microscopic polyangiitis, 245 patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and 105 patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, respectively. During a median follow-up of 33 months (interquartile range 15-60 months), 120 deaths occurred. Age at admission, chest and cardiovascular involvement, serum creatinine grade, hemoglobin levels at baseline and AAV sub-types were selected as predictive parameters in the final model. The optimism-corrected C-index and integrated Brier score of our prediction model were 0.728 and 0.109. The calibration plots showed fine agreement between observed and predicted probability of all-cause death. The decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that in a wide range of threshold probabilities, our prediction model had higher net benefits compared with the revised five factor score (rFFSand) and the birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) system. Conclusion: Our model performs well in predicting outcomes of AAV patients. Patients with moderate-to-high probability of death should be followed closely and personalized monitoring plan should be scheduled.
