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: Vasculitic neuropathy (VN) is a diverse group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies that result in systemic or non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy. There are limited studies that characterize the neurological outcome of VN patients. We aimed to describe the clinical features, diagnostic workup, and neurological outcomes of VN patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed adults with VN evaluated at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania between October 2020 and December 2025. Diagnostic classification followed the Peripheral Nerve Society 2010 criteria and the 2022 American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology classification criteria for systemic vasculitides. Definite vasculitis was defined by biopsy confirmation or fulfillment of formal classification criteria; probable vasculitis was supported by clinical, electrodiagnostic, and serologic features. Neurological impairment was quantified using the Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS). Improvement was defined Results: Of 85 patients, 66 met inclusion criteria. Non-systemic disease was analyzed as two distinct entities, the NSVN subtype ( Conclusion: Majority of patients experienced neurological improvement on the NIS. Greater baseline motor impairment and shorter diagnostic delay were associated with improvement. These findings characterize the clinical course of VN in a contemporary tertiary-care setting and provide a benchmark for future multicenter studies.
