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

We report a novel manifestation of Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome characterized by deep neck space involvement in a 75-year-old male. A diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome was established through genetic testing, which revealed variants in the UBA1 and DNMT3A genes following a collaborative multidisciplinary approach. This case highlights a novel syndrome for the ENT surgeon and represents the first case report of deep neck space involvement. It demonstrates the heterogeneity of ENT and soft tissue manifestations of the disease and the complex clinical presentation of this emergent autoinflammatory condition.
