Dermatomyositis Associated with Myelofibrosis following Polycythemia Vera.

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
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a unique inflammatory myopathy with clinical findings of proximal muscle weakness, characteristic rash, and elevated muscle enzymes. The association of DM and malignancy, most commonly adenocarcinoma, is well known. There have been few case reports of primary myelofibrosis associated with DM. We present the case of a 69-year-old male with a history of polycythemia vera (PV) who developed proximal muscle weakness, dysphagia, and rash. He was found to have elevated creatinine kinase and skin biopsy was consistent with DM. Due to persistent pancytopenia a bone marrow biopsy was performed and showed postpolycythemic myelofibrosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported of this unique association.
