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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, with rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) being its most threatening complication. We report a case of a 70-year-old female presenting with gangrene of the tips of fingers and toes early in the course of RA, which is a rare manifestation. The skin is the most commonly affected organ in RV, followed by the peripheral nerves. However, almost every organ system can get implicated. The management of RV is mostly empirical, with high-dose glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide. Early diagnosis and optimum management are essential in preventing severe complications of the disease.
