A tale of autoimmunity: thymoma, thymectomy, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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 thymus plays an integral role in immune system regulation, modulating the development, diversity, and selection of T lymphocytes, a critical feature for the prevention of T cell-mediated autoimmunity. Thymoma is a rare tumor of the thymus. Autoimmune diseases and paraneoplastic syndromes such as myasthenia gravis, pure red blood cell aplasia, and systemic lupus erythematosus, although relatively uncommon, have been described in association with thymomas. Rare cases of post-thymectomy autoimmune related diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus and pure red cell aplasia, have been reported in the literature. Here, we present the case of a 65-year-old male who developed systemic lupus erythematosus 2 years after thymectomy in the setting of thymoma-associated pure red cell aplasia.
