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

purposeTo describe a case of recurrent orbital inflammation and superior orbital fissure syndrome associated with VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, auto-inflammatory, somatic) syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION: VEXAS syndrome is a recently identified multi-system inflammatory disease of late adult onset. The authors describe the case of a 76-year-old man who presented with recurrent episodes of orbital inflammation, with superior orbital fissure syndrome, dacryoadenitis and orbital myositis. He had a constellation of systemic disorders including recurrent chest infections, congestive cardiac failure, pulmonary emboli and skin rashes. The underlying diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome was confirmed by genetic testing, which revealed the UBA1 mutation.

conclusionVEXAS syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of orbital inflammatory disease associated with multi-system inflammatory disorders.
