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

rationaleAssociations of autoimmune diseases are rare but interesting and challenging situations from a diagnostic, pathophysiological, and therapeutic point of view. This article studies a rare association of autoimmune diseases by discussing the pathophysiological hypotheses and an original therapeutic management. The coexistence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis and spondyloarthritis has rarely been described. PATIENT CONCERNS: We present a patient with inflammatory back pain, stiffness, and enthesopathies followed by pulmonary and ear, nose and throat granulomatous involvement. DIAGNOSES: A combination of spondyloarthritis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis, with spinal, enthesopathic, pulmonary, and ear, nose and throat involvement. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: Effective treatment with rituximab both on spondyloarthritis and vasculitis. LESSONS: We discuss the pathogenic, diagnostic, and therapeutic implications of this rare but intriguing association between these 2 inflammatory conditions.
