Interdisciplinary approach in the management of visual loss in giant cell arteritis.

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.
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
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common vasculitis among older patients in western countries. A correct diagnosis permits the prompt initiation of glucocorticoids, which still represent the cornerstone of treatment. One of the most feared complications of the disease is sudden visual loss and other ischemic events causing visual disturbances. In these cases, an interdisciplinary approach between ophthalmologists and rheumatologists is crucial to avoiding any diagnostic delays and to permitting correct clinical assessment without subjecting the patient to unnecessary treatment. In this review, we discuss the main causes of visual disturbances in GCA, particularly the causes of sight loss, outlining the red flags that should raise suspicion in ophthalmologists and rheumatologists.
