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

Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, and somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is an adult-onset systemic autoinflammatory condition notable for being simultaneously an autoinflammatory syndrome and a hematologic disease. Here, we present a clinical case of a 67-year-old man referred to the Autoimmune Diseases Outpatient Clinic for a two-year history of maculopapular rash involving the face, trunk, back, and upper limbs. At the time, the patient had already undergone three skin biopsies, with conflicting results. His physical exam was only remarkable for multiple roundly shaped maculopapules involving the trunk, back, and extremities. Laboratory evaluation revealed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein, increased alpha-2 zone in the serum protein electrophoresis, and positive IgM antibodies against
