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

A 79-year-old woman presented with difficulty walking and disturbance of consciousness. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse white matter lesions and abnormal signals along the surface of the brain and sulci. A brain biopsy revealed granulomatous vasculitis with eosinophil infiltration. There was no peripheral blood eosinophilia or evidence of angiitis in other organs, and primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) with pathological findings of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) was diagnosed. Steroids and other immunosuppressant therapies showed only limited effects. PACNS with pathological findings of EGPA is extremely rare, and a prompt brain biopsy is necessary for a diagnosis.
