Eosinophilic Fasciitis Responds Well to Steroids and Methotrexate.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare systemic inflammatory disease with an unknown etiology. Making a diagnosis in such a case is always a challenge as it is a rare disease and mimics scleroderma and scleroderma-like syndrome but should be kept in mind as it carries a high mortality. Furthermore, it is a treatable disease. Here, we report a 41-year-old woman who presented to the rheumatology clinic at the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, with a one-month history of bilateral swelling of the forearms along with skin tightness and fingers contraction. Her history and physical examination along with histopathological examination and magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with EF. She showed an excellent response to steroids and methotrexate which is not a combination therapy that has been tried or mentioned previously.
