Rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease due to anti-melanoma differentiation associated protein-5 requiring a bilateral lung transplant, and complicated by kennel cough.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The association between inflammatory myopathies anti-synthetase syndrome and interstitial lung disease has been recognized since the 1950s. Patients generally present with gradual onset of symptoms and slow progression of fibrosis over months to years. Herein, we describe a previously well 51-year-old man who presented with three months of progressive small joint arthritis, cough, dyspnea, and eventually hypoxemic respiratory failure following a viral prodrome. He continued to decompensate despite high dose corticosteroids and mycophenolate mofetil, ultimately requiring extracorporeal membranous oxygenation as a bridge to bilateral lung transplantation. Clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) was confirmed through serum positivity for anti-Melanoma Differentiation Associated Protein-5 (MDA-5) antibody. Interestingly, his post-operative course was complicated by a zoonotic infection with
