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

Drug-induced vasculitis can rarely cause inflammation and necrosis of blood vessel walls of both kidney and lung tissue. Diagnosis is challenging because of the lack of difference between systemic and drug-induced vasculitis in clinical presentation, immunological workup and pathological findings. Tissue biopsy guides diagnosis and treatment. Pathological findings must be correlated with clinical information to arrive at a presumed diagnosis of drug-induced vasculitis. We present a patient with hydralazine-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-positive vasculitis with a pulmonary-renal syndrome manifesting as pauci-immune glomerulonephritis and alveolar haemorrhage.
