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

A 52-year-old man presented with severe abdominal pain, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and characteristic skin findings, leading to a diagnosis of immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis with gastrointestinal (GI) involvement. Initial evaluation, including contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), revealed marked inflammation of the duodenum and a punched-out ulcer, both of which showed partial improvement with conservative treatment. However, the patient developed worsening abdominal pain, arthralgia, and purpura, accompanied by reduced plasma factor XIII activity (47%). Factor XIII substitution therapy was initiated as a monotherapy, resulting in immediate symptom relief and significant endoscopic improvement of the duodenal ulcer. This case highlights the potential of factor XIII monotherapy as an effective treatment option for adult IgA vasculitis with severe GI manifestations.
