The Rash That Didn't Blanch: A Case Report of Adult-Onset IgA Vasculitis with Underlying Cirrhosis and IgA Nephropathy.
Article in Journal of education & teaching in emergency medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Rashes are a common presentation in the emergency department (ED) and can signify a wide variety of underlying conditions. Early recognition of serious dermatologic rashes in the acute care setting is essential in improving patient outcomes. Here we describe the case of a 69-year-old female with a medical history of cirrhosis with ascites, chronic kidney disease (CKD) secondary to immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy, and hypertension who presented to the ED with a chief complaint of foot pain with an associated rash. On examination, she had tender purpura with bilateral symmetric pedal edema. Initial work up in the ED was significant for mildly elevated inflammatory markers. Given the concern for vasculitis, dermatology was consulted; punch biopsy confirmed IgA vasculitis. The patient was subsequently admitted for acute renal injury and started on corticosteroids. After a week-long inpatient stay, she was discharged home in stable condition. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis for purpuric rashes, recognizing when specialty consultation is warranted, and understanding the pathophysiologic interplay between IgA vasculitis, liver cirrhosis, and IgA nephropathy. Topics: Vasculitis, IgA vasculitis, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, IgA nephropathy, dermatology.
