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

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and alveolar haemorrhage (AH) have been described as possible pulmonary involvements associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), mainly granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). To evaluate the clinical, laboratory and demographic features of ANCA positivity in AAV; in particular, we aimed to determine the criteria predicting ILD involvement and AH. This study was designed as a cross-sectional and retrospective study conducted in a single centre. The studies comprised 83 individuals in total who were routinely followed at a tertiary rheumatology clinic between June 2016 and February 2024. A total of 83 patients consisting of 56 GPA (67.4%), 22 MPA (26.5%) and 5 ANCA-negative (6.1%) cases were included in the study. When adjusted for age and sex in a multivariate regression model, the correlation of AH with C-ANCA was confirmed (OR 4.80; 95% CI 1.29-17.91) (p = 0.020). The subsequent multivariate regression analysis reveals that the P-ANCA variable significantly predicts ILD (OR 4.28; 95% CI 1.25-14.65) (p = 0.021) when adjusted for age and sex. AH was found to be higher in patients with GPA and in patients with C-ANCA positivity. It was shown that P-ANCA positivity predicted ILD involvement in AAV patients. The widespread ILD involvement observed in P-ANCA-positive patients confirmed usual interstitial pneumonia, but nonspecific interstitial pneumonia was also found to predominate in C-ANCA-positive and ANCA-negative cases.
