Anti-proteinase 3 Antibody (PR3)-Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)-Positive Vasculitis: A Rare Presentation in a 90-Year-Old Female.
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
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), a rare systemic vasculitis, typically affects middle-aged adults, with incidence declining significantly in the elderly. Here, we present a rare and exceptional case of new-onset GPA in a 90-year-old female presenting with hemoptysis and characteristic systemic manifestations. Initially investigated for suspected lung malignancy due to her advancing age and history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (in remission since 2017), the patient was diagnosed with proteinase 3 (PR3) anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive vasculitis and characteristic imaging findings. Treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and avacopan resulted in improved renal function and overall resolution of symptoms, highlighting the importance of considering vasculitis as a differential diagnosis in elderly patients with multisystem involvement. This case report features the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic considerations of late-onset GPA in the geriatric population.
