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

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare ANCA-associated vasculitis. De novo presentation during pregnancy is exceptionally rare and may mimic severe infection, delaying diagnosis. This report concerns a case of new-onset GPA in a 26-year-old primigravid woman presenting in the second trimester with progressive refractory sinonasal disease initially treated as severe bacterial sinusitis. Despite repeated antimicrobial therapy and multiple ENT interventions, her condition deteriorated with development of hemoptysis and cavitating pulmonary lesions. Histopathology demonstrated necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, and further evaluation revealed ANCA positivity with anti-PR3 antibodies, confirming GPA at approximately 22 weeks of gestation. Management was complicated by rapidly progressive multisystem disease, concern for evolving renal involvement, opportunistic pulmonary infection with
