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

Corticosteroids have emerged as a feasible treatment option for patients with refractory vasospastic angina (VSA) who have an allergic disease or hypereosinophilia. However, reports on VSA following the administration of corticosteroids are scarce. Herein, we present the rare case of a 49-year-old Japanese man who developed VSA while receiving corticosteroids for treatment of autoimmune hepatitis. Invasive coronary angiography and pharmacological spasm provocation tests under oral prednisolone (20 mg) revealed multi-vessel spasms with ST elevation but no obstructed coronary arteries. To assess the effectiveness of the pharmacotherapy following a Ca Learning objective: Corticosteroids can induce vasospastic angina (VSA) and corticosteroid-induced VSA may relapse in a dose-dependent manner. Discontinuation of corticosteroids is often difficult, and long-term administration may be inevitable. Evaluation of the fluctuated spasmogenicity during long-term observation of autoimmune hepatitis may be crucial.
