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

We herein report a patient with immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) with myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) positivity without renal dysfunction at the time of the diagnosis who subsequently developed nephritis after an unplanned interruption of maintenance glucocorticoid therapy. A renal biopsy specimen obtained at the time of the development of renal dysfunction revealed the possibility of both ANCA-associated nephritis and IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis, with no HP relapse. The present case highlights the need to monitor other organ complications, including renal damage, in patients with IgG4-related HP with MPO-ANCA positivity, even after achieving remission.
