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 group of chronic multisystem inflammatory disorders affecting multiple organs throughout the body. Despite advances in AAV therapies, patients with AAV continue to experience higher rates of mortality than the general population. AAV outcomes can be improved by providing patients with rapid access to multidisciplinary medical teams and early treatment with glucocorticoid- (GC-) based therapy. However, GCs are associated with a high risk of toxicity. The phase 3 ADVOCATE trial demonstrates that blocking the alternative complement pathways using avacopan alongside immunosuppression enables patients with AAV to reduce their GC exposure without compromising efficacy or safety outcomes. ADVOCATE subgroup analyses show benefits for avacopan in patients with a wide range of AAV-related manifestations, disease stages and ages, with the greatest benefits in patients with kidney impairment, lung manifestations and AAV relapse.
