Fevers in Adult Lupus Patients.
Review in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
Variability in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease manifestations is well recognized. Lupus disease activity can range from mild to severe. Fever is a common manifestation of SLE and occurs in 36%-86% of patients. In the Modified Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (M-SLEDAI), fever is taken into account as disease activity scoring. Assessment of lupus patients with fever is an important diagnostic challenge, since the initial clinical presentation of a patient with lupus is very similar to the acute febrile phase of an infection. The attribution of fever to SLE holds only after other causes are excluded.
