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

The patient was a 72-year-old man with a history of kidney transplantation and long-term administration of methylprednisolone and immunosuppressants who underwent resection and reconstruction of a brachial artery aneurysm. A pathological examination confirmed mycobacteria, indicating an inflammatory aneurysm with amyloid kappa light chain deposition caused by intracellular nontuberculous mycobacterium. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of an inflammatory brachial artery aneurysm with amyloidosis caused by nontuberculous mycobacterial infection. When a nontuberculous mycobacterial infection is diagnosed, it is important to take into account the potential development of aneurysms at locations outside of the lungs.
