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

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare disease characterized by inflammation of small vessels in various organs, usually affecting the kidneys, lungs, upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, and peripheral nerves. The typical renal pathological manifestation is necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis. Sjögren's syndrome is another relatively uncommon autoimmune disorder characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth. Here, we present a case of overlap syndrome involving AAV with SS in an elderly male patient who demonstrated significant improvement following aggressive treatment with cyclophosphamide, glucocorticoids, hemodialysis, and rituximab. In addition, we also found 49 cases of overlapping syndrome of ANCA combined with SS through literature review and summarized and analyzed them.
