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

A 59-year-old woman developed a persistent dry cough one month after recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). She subsequently developed fever and back pain, and a local doctor diagnosed suspected infection and prescribed antibiotics. However, her symptoms did not improve and she was referred to our department. No definitive etiology was identified based on the initial physical examination, blood tests, and non-contrast computed tomography (CT). Her symptoms persisted for another week, and contrast-enhanced CT revealed aortic wall thickening. The patient was then diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis. As only a few cases of Takayasu arteritis have been reported after COVID-19, this case is valuable.
