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

This is a retrospective analysis of all patients with a raised titre of ANCA in a single centre over a two-year period. Sixty-five patients were identified and clinical data is presented for 58 of these-34 male and 24 female. The median age is 56 years (13-83). Fourteen patients had Wegener's granulomatosis, 14 microscopic polyarteritis nodosa and 30 had other diagnoses. The patients with unexpectedly positive results are discussed in detail. This study confirms the sensitivity of ANCA in Wegener's granulomatosis and microscopic polyarteritis nodosa but suggests that the test is not as specific as initially claimed.
