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

The anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) usually manifests as systemic vasculitis. AAV with central nervous system involvement in the form of mesenrhombencephalitis and peripheral neuropathy is extremely rare. We report a 59-year-old male patient who presented to a tertiary care hospital in Muscat, Oman, in 2024. He had a subacute presentation of altered sensorium, multiple cranial nerve palsy and ataxia with 3 months history of bilateral foot drop. Brain imaging was suggestive of mesenrhombencephalitis with subarachnoid and intraparenchymal haemorrhage. Nerve conduction studies revealed sensorimotor axonal neuropathy. Vasculitis profile showed perinuclear-ANCA positivity and the nerve biopsy was suggestive of vasculitic neuropathy. He was treated with intravenous steroids and maintained on rituximab. His neurological deficits improved with residual bilateral foot drop.
