Giant Cell Arteritis With Atypical Features: Acute Vision Loss and Marked Eosinophilia Mimicking Systemic Vasculitis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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), also known as temporal arteritis, is a chronic inflammatory vasculitis that affects the large- and medium-sized arteries, which commonly includes the cranial branches of the carotid arteries. Manifestations range from constitutional symptoms, headache, and jaw claudication to transient or permanent monocular vision loss. Because its prognosis is poor if untreated, patients require prompt evaluation and appropriate treatment. We present an atypical case of binocular vision loss in a patient diagnosed with GCA with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The patient declined a temporal artery biopsy and opted for ultrasonography, which helped clinch the ultimate diagnosis. His symptoms partially improved with high-dose steroids and tocilizumab in the hospital. Our case highlights the diagnostic challenges, appropriate specialist consultations required, and prompt management of GCA with overlapping vasculitis symptoms.
