Rash and elevated creatine kinase in a deployed soldier.
Article in Military medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A 24-year-old active duty soldier was evacuated from Afghanistan to the United States after persistent upper respiratory tract infection. His course was complicated by an exfoliative rash, diffuse muscle aches, and elevated creatine kinase following trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole exposure that persisted despite withdrawal of the medication. Dermatomyositis was strongly considered, but the patient had a negative muscle biopsy and had positive serologies for acute Epstein-Barr virus infection. We present a case of acute Epstein-Barr virus infection and possible trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole reaction mimicking dermatomyositis.
