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

Single-organ cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis is a specific type of vasculitis. Its recurrence rate is approximately 10%, and it is a serious health issue that can lead to increased healthcare costs. There have been no reports of successful treatment of recurrent necrotizing single-organ cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis in children. We report the case of an 11-year-old Chinese girl who presented with recurrently elevated anti-streptococcal O titers and worsening cutaneous necrosis of the lower extremities. She was diagnosed with streptococcal infection-related recurrent severe single-organ cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis and was successfully treated using a "cocktail" therapy, including antibiotics, plasma exchange, and immunosuppressants. She was followed up for 4 years with no recurrence. In conclusion, recurrent necrotizing single-organ cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis in children can be successfully treated with a "cocktail" therapy containing plasma exchange.
