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

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis, a type of small-medium vessel vasculitis, can pose diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations. We present a case that mimicked multisystem pyoderma gangrenosum with cutaneous ulceration, renal sparing, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody negativity. Although antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody is positive in approximately 90% of cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, its negativity should not exclude the diagnosis. Additionally, pyoderma gangrenosum-like cutaneous ulcers should prompt consideration of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, especially in the context of multisystem disease presentation. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high suspicion for granulomatosis with polyangiitis in patients presenting with cutaneous ulceration and respiratory tract disease.
