Histological Findings of Organizing Pneumonia, Based on Transbronchial Lung Biopsy, May Predict Poor Outcome in Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis: Report of Two Autopsied Cases.
Article in Archives of rheumatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Interstitial lung disease in polymyositis and dermatomyositis is a serious complication, associated with poor prognosis. In this article, we describe two cases with histological findings of organizing pneumonia, based on transbronchial lung biopsy. One is a 66-year-old female patient with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody, and another is a 61-year-old female patient with polymyositis with anti-Jo-1 antibody. Both of our cases rapidly deteriorated to death, and autopsy findings showed diffuse alveolar damage. Our experience indicates that transbronchial biopsy findings of organizing pneumonia may be a poor prognostic factor in clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis and polymyositis, in spite of the profile of myositis-specific antibodies.
