Rheumatoid Vasculitis in Modern Era: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review.

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
Rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) is a rare extraarticular manifestation of severe seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA), affecting small and medium vessels and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of RV has significantly decreased in the last three decades due to early diagnosis and better management of RA with biologics. Still, the mortality rate remains high and there are insufficient controlled studies guiding RV treatment. Here, we discussed a case of a 75-year-old male who presented with a non-healing ulcer on lateral malleolus without significant joint pain, the workup showed very high titer rheumatoid factor with erosive joint disease raising high clinical suspicion of RV. Skin biopsy was negative for histologic evidence of vasculitis. He had complete healing of the ulcer with prednisone and methotrexate (MTX). This case highlights the importance of promptly recognizing this rare entity and that a negative biopsy does not rule out RV, and appropriate treatment helps decrease morbidity and mortality.
