Associated thyreoiditis, myasthenia gravis, thymectomy, Chron's disease, and erythema nodosum: pathogenetic and clinical correlations, immune system involvement, and systemic infectious complications.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The case of a young woman suffering from multiple autoimmune-dysreactive disorders (including thyreoiditis, myasthenia gravis, thymectomy, Crohn's disease, and erythema nodosum), while undergoing steroideal therapy, was complicated by a severe infectious disorder (severe upper urinary tract infection). While the pathogenetic and clinical relationship between the different autoimmune-dysreactive complications is still unclear, and the supporting role of the frequent immunosuppressive treatment may add significantly to these risk factors, clinicians who are engaged in the management of these patients should be aware that multiple, concurrent or subsequent disorders might occur in these subjects, and also that severe infections might be of relevant concern.
