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

In part 1 of this review, we examined the evidence behind the association between idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and cancers. In view of the well-recognized association between cancer and myositis (hence the term cancer-associated myositis, or CAM), clinicians responsible for the management of patients with myositis must make important decisions regarding how intensively they undertake searches for malignancy. Clinicians must also decide how often such searches are repeated, and again how intensively, to optimize both cancer detection and treatment, and thus patient survival. As the risks of CAM are greatest in dermatomyositis, this is an issue of obvious importance to dermatologists. In this second of two reviews, we examine the role of autoantibodies as potential predictors of cancer risk in patients with IIM.
