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 the case of a 55-year-old Japanese woman who presented with fever, headache, vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss, and scleritis, leading to a diagnosis of Cogan's syndrome (CS). Her hearing acuity recovered to previous levels after high-dose glucocorticoid treatment, despite seven weeks having passed since the onset. We reviewed 30 adult cases of Japanese CS using PubMed and Ichushi-Web. We identified several clinical features of Japanese patients with CS, including an older age of onset, less interstitial keratitis, more frequent fever and headache, elevated inflammatory marker levels, and a higher prevalence of large-vessel vasculitis, compared with studies on Caucasians.
