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

Background: A substantial overlap in demographic, clinical, and laboratory features can complicate the differential diagnosis between Schnitzler's syndrome and VEXAS syndrome. The present study was undertaken to identify clinical and laboratory parameters that should raise suspicion for VEXAS syndrome among patients previously diagnosed with, or under evaluation for, Schnitzler's syndrome. Methods: Data from male-only patients with Schnitzler's syndrome or VEXAS syndrome were obtained from international AIDA Network registries. Subjects with Schnitzler's syndrome were compared to VEXAS patients with urticarial skin manifestations resembling cutaneous features typically observed in Schnitzler's syndrome. Results: A total of 19 VEXAS patients and 18 patients with Schnitzler's syndrome were enrolled. At univariate binary logistic regression, the diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome was associated with the age at disease onset (OR = 1.08, 95% CI. 1.01-1.16, Conclusions: Patients with lymphadenopathy, thrombocytopenia, anemia, particularly in older age and in the absence of leucocytosis, are more likely to be affected by VEXAS syndrome rather than Schnitzler's syndrome.
