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

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by constitutional symptoms, multi-organ dysfunction, and a subacute to chronic mode of onset. We describe a rarely encountered manifestation of PAN in a previously healthy 64-year-old woman who developed acute intra-abdominal bleeding due to multi-vessel, vasculitis-induced retroperitoneal aneurysmal ruptures, followed by the spontaneous cessation of abdominal pain and intra-abdominal bleeding within 24 hours after hospitalization, in the absence of immunosuppressive treatment. Aneurysms regressed and eventually normalized coincident with a moderate-term course of oral corticosteroids and six months of monthly intravenous cyclophosphamide. Our report reveals that patients with life-threatening PAN may present acutely with unexpected historical, physical examination and laboratory features not commensurate with the gravity of the clinical findings. We also highlight that long-term survival lasting greater than 11 years can occur when the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment are introduced early in the course of the illness.
