Pyomyositis in a patient with systemic lupus erythaematosus and a review of the literature.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pyomyositis (PM) is a common masquerading disease that is frequently misdiagnosed. A concurrent state of immunodeficiency is observed in up to 75% of tropical PM cases. PM in systemic lupus erythaematosus (SLE) is a relatively rare disease. I report a case of PM that was caused byKlebsiella pneumoniaein a patient with SLE who presented with leg pain, fever and a lupus flare-up. The patient was correctly diagnosed using a CT scan. Immediate surgical drainage was performed, and empirical antibiotics were administered. The patient was discharged while in a recovering condition. The clinical features, the results of radiographic investigations and the management of PM in SLE are synopsised in this article to underscore the importance of considering this relatively rare disease during differential diagnosis in patients with SLE with muscle pain with or without fever. I also emphasise the need to exclude mycobacterial infection in patients with SLE with PM.
