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 72-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with progressive hearing loss and dysphagia. Blood tests revealed elevated C-reactive protein and myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA). Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the head showed hypertrophic pachymeningitis of the left middle cranial fossa with compression of the cranial nerves, including the trigeminal (V), facial (VII), glossopharyngeal (IX), and vagal (X) nerves, resulting in cranial nerve palsy. She was diagnosed with Garcin syndrome associated with otitis media with ANCA-associated vasculitis (OMAAV) and treated with high-dose glucocorticoid therapy followed by intravenous cyclophosphamide and rituximab. Therefore, OMAAV should be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory otitis media with unilateral cranial nerve involvement.
