Uncommon Territory: Multifocal Tumor-like Brain Lesions in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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) is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis affecting predominantly small vessels, typically associated with PR3-ANCA positivity. Central nervous system involvement beyond cranial nerve palsies is rare, with intracerebral granulomas being exceptionally rare and lacking specific imaging characteristics, often mimicking malignancies or other intracranial pathologies. This significantly complicates the diagnostic process, particularly in the absence of active systemic disease. We report a case of a 71-year-old woman in whom neurological symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging revealed intracerebral granulomas and led to the diagnosis of GPA. Early recognition of tumor-like brain lesions in GPA and prompt initiation of immunosuppressive and anti-edematous therapy are crucial to prevent progression and potentially life-threatening compressive complications.
