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

Aortitis and periaortitis include a heterogeneous group of conditions, which may be idiopathic or secondary to infectious diseases or non-infectious inflammatory disorders. Therefore, treatment differ considerably depending on the underlying cause. Our aim was to assess the administered treatment and therapeutic response in a wide series of patients with aortitis and periaortitis from a single reference University center. Retrospective and observational study of patients with aortitis and/or periaortitis from a referral center in Northern Spain. The main outcomes include: clinical remission (absence of clinical symptoms), complete remission (absence of clinical symptoms and analytical normalization), and imaging remission (absence of clinical symptoms and normalization of imaging alterations). Safety data during evolution were also evaluated. We included 134 patients (87 female/47 male) (mean age: 55.1 ± 9.1 years) with 132 aortitis and two periaortitis. The main diagnostic method was the positron emission tomography (PET), showing a non-specific increase in
