Sterile Endocarditis and Splenic Infarct: A Rare Masquerading Presentation of Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis in a Patient With Pulmonary Aspergillosis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare multisystem disease characterized by vasculitis affecting small vessels, resulting in the formation of necrotising granulomata, primarily affecting the lungs, the upper respiratory tract, and kidneys. Almost all patients have upper and lower respiratory involvement; up to 85% of patients with GPA develop kidney disease within two years of diagnosis. Cutaneous, neurological, and ocular manifestations are also seen with varying frequencies. However, cardiac manifestations of the disease are rare and scarcely reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old female with an initial diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis based on the presence of septate hyphae branching at acute angles on lung biopsy and elevated serum galactomannan, who, over the following months, developed a multitude of issues such as myocardial infarction, sterile endocarditis, splenic infarction, and heart block, as well as the challenges faced in establishing a diagnosis and managing its complications.
