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

Dermatomyositis (DM) classically presents as a dyad of typical cutaneous findings and varying degrees of proximal muscle weakness. Interestingly, the development of DM may signal underlying malignancy, and numerous myositis-specific autoantibodies have been associated with this paraneoplastic phenomenon. Positivity for anti-TIF1gamma antibody, in particular, raises suspicion for cancer-associated DM. Here, we present an unusual case of anti-TIF1gamma antibody-positive DM that ultimately lead to the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Importantly, topical treatment and chemotherapy targeting MDS resulted in a swift and remarkable amelioration of cutaneous disease.
