Spontaneous resolution of dermatomyositis associated with fallopian-tube carcinoma following staging surgery: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
rationaleParaneoplastic dermatomyositis (DM) is an inflammatory disease of the connective tissue caused by immunologic events in the presence of malignant tumors, which are typically related to ovarian, pancreatic, stomach, and colon cancer. Traditional treatment of paraneoplastic DM includes combination therapy for the underlying malignancy with systemic steroids. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 41-year-old woman presented with facial erythema and myalgia of the extremities. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed with DM associated with a fallopian-tube carcinoma.
interventionsThe cancer staging surgery was performed via muilt-port laparoscope and administered 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel (210 mg) and carboplatin (600 mg) right ovary and the left fallopian tube were removed laparoscopically. OUTCOMES: The DM healed spontaneously without the use of general glucocorticoids after the cancer staging surgery. During the 9-month follow-up, no recurrence of DM or neoplasm was observed. LESSONS: This case highlights the fact that paraneoplastic DM can heal spontaneously after therapy for the underlying neoplasm, thereby avoiding the use of systemic steroids and their side effects. Moreover, DM can be an initial symptom for gynecological cancer such as fallopian-tube cancer. Thus, if DM is refractory to standard treatment, gynecological neoplasms should be considered.
