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

Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a rare and severe disease confined to the central nervous system, i.e., the brain and spinal cord. The etiology, pathogenesis and immune mechanism of PACNS have not yet been completely elucidated. The diagnosis is challenging; it is based upon constellation of clinical picture, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, imaging methods or tissue biopsy as the gold standard. In differential diagnosis of PACNS, it is necessary to rule out infectious, malignant or systemic inflammatory diseases, as well as reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome. Immunosuppressants are cornerstone therapy for PACNS, although evidence-based strategies for the management are lacking so far. PACNS is an entity with considerable morbidity and mortality. Awareness of this rare and heterogeneous disease is crucial for establishing early diagnosis and treatment initiation.
