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

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) can result in visual loss and other sequelae. An 81-year-old man presented with a one-week history of fever. He had bilateral temporal headache, jaw claudication, tenderness of the temporal arteries and a recent skin rash. A temporal artery biopsy showed typical GCA, but the symptoms were self-limiting. We continued close observation, without administering prednisolone treatment. Five months later, the symptoms did not recur, and prednisolone again was not administered. Our patient presented with an atypical course of GCA that created a clinical dilemma. The final diagnosis was self-limiting GCA.
