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

ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare and potentially fatal autoimmune disorder characterized by pauci-immune necrotizing vasculitis affecting small- to medium-sized blood vessels. The pathogenic role of ANCAs in AAV is supported by both clinical and experimental evidence, and when used in the proper clinical setting, ANCA testing is highly specific for AAV. Testing with both indirect immunofluorescence assay and enzyme immunoassay may increase sensitivity for AAV; however, testing with a high-quality enzyme immunoassay may be used alone. Nonvasculitic conditions and drugs can cause ANCA positivity without manifestations of AAV. We review ANCA testing itself, performance characteristics and specific conditions for the laboratory test, and various conditions when ANCA testing is useful in diagnosis, disease monitoring, and selecting treatment.
