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

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a form of multisystemic necrotizing vasculitis that has various manifestations. Cardiac involvement is one of the indications of poor prognosis, occurring with different reported prevalence. Due to the heterogeneity of EGPA presentation, its diagnosis relies on clinical condition supported by different investigations and classification criteria. However, large hemorrhagic pericardial effusion is a rare occurrence in EGPA, raising a diagnostic challenge with a wide differential diagnosis. EGPA can also affect other layers of the heart, making its development to perimyocarditis a warning for the progressive nature of the disease. We report a case of EGPA in a young female patient who presented initially with large hemorrhagic pericardial effusion, and later developed perimyocarditis.
