Refractory Thigh Pain Revealing Femoral Neuritis in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Peripheral nervous system involvement is a possible manifestation of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). We present a case of a 48-year-old female patient with known AAV presenting with refractory left thigh pain. She underwent extensive workup for musculoskeletal, spinal, and vascular causes of her pain that were all unrevealing. Physical examination localized her pain to the femoral nerve, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis with neurography revealed findings consistent with femoral neuritis. She was promptly started on immunosuppressive treatment, which resulted in dramatic improvement in her pain. This case demonstrates that vasculitic neuropathy may present as a painful proximal mononeuropathy. Neurologic localization and targeted magnetic resonance neurography should be considered when conventional evaluation fails to explain intractable focal extremity pain in a patient with systemic vasculitis.
