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

backgroundGoodpasture syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease classically revealed by diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Inaugural cardiac involvement is exceptionally rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 44-year-old North African origin (Tunisian) female patient without any known cardiovascular risk factors, presented with an acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) with elevated troponin. Cardiac MRI has showed transmural myocardial necrosis. Days later, massive hemoptysis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and acute kidney injury revealed an underlying anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease (Goodpasture syndrome), confirmed by positive anti-GBM antibodies. Despite high-dose intravenous corticotherapy and plasmapheresis, the patient died.

conclusionsThis case illustrates an unusual presentation of Goodpasture syndrome beginning with ischemic cardiac involvement, and highlights the value of cardiac MRI for differential diagnosis and management of acute coronary syndromes in young patients.
