1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 69-year-old Japanese woman presented with mild muscle weakness of the neck and symmetrical proximal parts of the upper and lower limbs. Laboratory tests, needle electromyography, and a muscle biopsy revealed inflammatory myopathy with an apparent clinical classification of polymyositis and positive findings for anti-PM/Scl-75 antibody. This antibody is rare among Japanese populations, and most Japanese patients with the antibody are not classified with the inflammatory myopathy seen in polymyositis. The muscle biopsy also showed marked necrotic and regenerative fibers. We need to collectively investigate patients with the potential to develop this disease, and to identify any unique characteristics for Asian populations, including Japanese.
