Thymoma-associated Myasthenia Gravis in a Young Adult with Development of Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Post-thymectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
We report a young adult with thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis (MG) who, following thymectomy, developed paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (LE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although thymomas commonly co-occur with MG, LE is an uncommon autoimmune sequela. Herein, we discuss the pathophysiology of paraneoplastic LE and its management. Our report also highlights an unusual case of a thymoma patient who presented with multiple autoimmune disorders. The treatment of such a patient is therefore challenging and requires care from multiple specialized teams.
