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

A 77-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a 2-week history of fever, headache, and induration along the bilateral superficial temporal arteries (STAs). The color Doppler ultrasonography of the STA showed a hypoechoic mural thickening surrounding a residual color flow. A contrast-enhanced photon-counting detector (PCD) CT demonstrated mural thickening and stenosis of the bilateral STAs. The patient underwent a biopsy of the right STA. Histopathological findings were consistent with giant cell arteritis (GCA). The patient's symptoms were temporarily relieved after initiation of steroid treatment, but jaw claudication occurred 2 months later. Contrast-enhanced CT showed improved vascular abnormalities of the STAs but new mural thickening and stenosis of the bilateral maxillary artery. Due to its higher resolution, image contrast, and lower noise, PCD-CT may have great potential in detecting, diagnosing, and monitoring GCA.
