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

BACKGROUND/

aimsThis study applied the 2022 American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) criteria for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) to patients with Behçet's disease (BD) to investigate the proportion and clinical implications of the reclassification to the overlap syndrome of BD and AAV (OS-BD-AAV).

methodsWe included 280 BD patients presenting with ANCA positivity but without medical conditions mimicking AAV at diagnosis. Demographic data, items from the 2014 revised International Criteria for BD and 2022 American College of Rheumatology and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology criteria for AAV, ANCA positivity, and laboratory results were recorded as clinical data at diagnosis. A total score ≥ 5 indicated microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), whereas a total score ≥ 6 indicated a diagnosis of eosinophilic GPA (EGPA).

resultsThe overall reclassification rate of OS-BD-AAV was 8.6%. Of the 280 patients, 16 (5.7%) and 8 (2.9%) were reclassified as having OS-BD-MPA and OS-BD-GPA, respectively; none were classified as having OS-BD-EGPA. ANCA, myeloperoxidase-ANCA (P-ANCA), proteinase 3-ANCA (C-ANCA) positivity, hearing loss, and interstitial lung disease (ILD) at diagnosis were more common in patients with OS-BD-AAV than in those without. ANCA positivity and ILD at BD diagnosis contributed to the reclassification of OS-BD-AAV. However, hearing loss was not considered a major contributor to BD due to its possibility of developing as a manifestation of BD.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the reclassification rate (8.6%) of patients with BD and ANCA results at diagnosis as OS-BD-AAV.
