The development of myasthenia gravis in a patient with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: case report and literature review.
Article in Neurology international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 co-existence of facioscapulohumeral muscle dystrophy (FSHD) and myasthenia gravis (MG) is very rare and few cases have been described in the literature. To increase the awareness of the health care providers, we present herein a rare case of MG in a patient with FSHD, discuss the diagnostic challenges, pre- and post-treatment findings and provide a literature review.
