From Anaemia to Arteritis: Unravelling the Diagnosis of Large Vessel Vasculitis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is a rare but serious inflammatory condition that often presents with nonspecific systemic symptoms, making early diagnosis challenging. This case report describes a 59-year-old female who presented with progressive fatigue, myalgia, weight loss, and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). The diagnosis of LVV was established following a CT scan performed during the evaluation of IDA, revealing a rare but important cause of her symptoms. Clinical suspicion for vasculitis was initially low despite systemic features. The patient was treated with high-dose corticosteroids followed by disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, resulting in marked symptomatic improvement and normalisation of inflammatory markers. This case emphasises the importance of considering LVV in the differential diagnosis of patients with anaemia of unclear aetiology and systemic symptoms, especially when vascular involvement is suspected.
